Abstract

          This research and development aimed to develop clinical practice guideline for pain, agitation, and delirium management in critically ill surgical patients and to study the feasibility of guideline. The evidence-based practice model of Soukup was used as a conceptual framework. The participants were 65 nurses who worked in the surgical intensive care unit by purposive sampling and evidence-based documents. Data were collected by using personal information questionnaires, the feasibility of applying guideline questionnaires and manual guideline, questionnaires which were validated content validity of .98 Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics.


          The study revealed three main parts of this guideline: (1) Pain management in critically ill surgical patients comprised of 4 components (pain assessment, pain treatment, reassessment, and record) (2) agitation management in critically ill surgical patients, and (3) delirium management in critically ill surgical patients. Over 90 percent of nurses agreed with this guideline. The feasibility of this guideline could be applied for pain, agitation, and delirium management in critically ill surgical patients.
