[Postoperative pain control in the Trento community hospital. Perception of pain by the nurses].
The College of Nurses of Trento (Collegio IPASVI) promoted a call for research works done by nurses, to award a prize to those judged worthy. The three best works were respectively on concordance on triage classification between doctors and nurses; on the results of organizational and educational interventions on the reduction of needle-stick injuries; and on the differences on postoperative pain assessment between nurses and patients. The final reports were later discussed as part of a training exercise aiming at improving the skill of scientific writing and they are published here, together with some comments that emphasize areas of improvement in data analysis and interpretation and some broader issues related to nursing research.
