Background & Aim: Postoperative pain is one of the clinical challenges for nurses who care for patients. The objective of this review was to evaluate the effect of preoperative education on postoperative pain after elective surgery.
Methods & Materials: A literature search was done on PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus and EMBASE to find the articles published in English on clinical trials from January 2012 to June 2018.
Results: Out of 153 studies retrieved, 13 studies (2482 people) were reviewed. Generally, most studies indicated the effectiveness of preoperative education on postoperative pain relief (7 studies, n=1678). In other studies, there was no significant difference between education and the degree of pain reduction in the patient. Also, the results of some studies (n=204) showed that education with empathy could reduce anxiety in half of the cases.
Conclusion: Preoperative education as a complex intervention can reduce postoperative pain. Interactive education with empathy reduces patient’s anxiety and the need for postoperative analgesics. Therefore, training skilled nurses and the providers of such education is suggested for managing pain in patients.
