July 11, 2008 updated by: Nanjing Medical University

Influence on Pain Management of Nurses' Negative Words After Total Hysterectomy

Psychological implications expressed pivotal effects on daily activities. Postoperative pain management is always encountered varying influence from the ambience of surgical wards, especially the nurses. We hypothesized that nurses' negative or positive words would produce unexpected role in pain management, which might be a strong factor resulting in the failure of postoperative analgesia.
