This correlational research aimed to study the relationships between knowledge and attitude, and pain management of nurses into Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) in Southern Thailand. Sample was 88 nurses working in PICU. Purposive sampling was applied. Data were collected using a questionnaire, which had three parts: 1) demographic data, 2) knowledge and attitude, and 3) pain management. Reliability of the questionnaire for the knowledge part was tested using Kuder Richardson method (KR-20), yielding a value of .81. Reliability of questionnaire for attitude and pain management was tested using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, yielding values of 0.86 and 0.79, respectively. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s product moment correlation. And results showed the following.
1. Mean score of knowledge and attitude regarding pain management among nurses in Southern PICU was at a moderate level (M=36.95, SD=3.75).
2. Mean score of pain management among nurses in in Southern PICU was at a high level (M=91.00, SD=7.83).
3. Knowledge and attitudes did not correlate with pain management (r = .058; p = .59) of nurses in Southern Pediatric Intensive Care Units.
Therefore, our findings suggest that training should be provided for nurses working in Southern Pediatric Intensive Care Units, in order to increase their knowledge, especially the knowledge about pain assessment and pain relief, using pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy.
