Multicenter Study
Achieving consensus about pain content for child branch curricula.
The aim of the study was to identify nurse educators' and nurse managers' perceptions of the educational needs of children's nurses in relation to pain management. ⋯ The results of this study suggest that nurse educators and nurse managers have similar views about the pain management knowledge they would expect a newly qualified child branch nurse to have. The list of appropriate pain content derived from the results of this study provides a useful tool with which to evaluate the content of child branch curricula.
