Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
One-on-one coaching to improve pain assessment and management practices of pediatric nurses.
Pain in children is infrequently assessed and managed by nurses. One-on-one coaching based on audit with feedback and the use of opinion leaders have been effective in changing professional health care practices. ⋯ However, there were significant site differences that could not be attributed to the coaching but to factors inherent in the sites. The context in which interventions are implemented will influence the effectiveness of individualized interventions.
