Pain management is a critical aspect of healthcare, essential not only for improving patients' quality of life but also for preventing a range of physical and emotional complications. A regional survey conducted in Friuli Venezia Giulia highlighted suboptimal knowledge and inconsistencies in pain management among healthcare professionals, underscoring the need for targeted educational interventions. The primary goal of this study is to assess the impact of an informational intervention on pain management among healthcare professionals in the region, including physicians, nurses, midwives, and physiotherapists. The plan is to distribute specially designed informational materials based on gaps identified in the 2023 survey and to subsequently evaluate knowledge through a questionnaire administered online. Secondary objectives of the study include analyzing the usage and perceived utility of the informational tool among healthcare professionals. The study design involves a pre- and post-intervention prevalence survey. The questionnaire, based on previous surveys and adapted to include specific questions about the informational intervention, will be administered twice: before the informational intervention and after its implementation, thus measuring changes in the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare professionals. Data will be collected anonymously via the EU-Survey platform and managed and analyzed by the Cure Sicure FVG Network coordination. Statistical analysis will employ descriptive techniques and non-parametric tests to assess differences in responses pre- and post-intervention. Values of p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant. The expected results from the informational intervention include a significant improvement in the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals regarding pain management, which should reflect in better quality of care provided and greater patient satisfaction. The research emphasizes the importance of continuous and targeted educational interventions in the healthcare sector to ensure high standards of care and professional updating.
La gestione del dolore rappresenta un aspetto critico nell'ambito sanitario, essenziale non solo per migliorare la qualità della vita dei pazienti ma anche per prevenire una serie di complicazioni fisiche ed emotive. Un'indagine regionale condotta in Friuli Venezia Giulia ha messo in luce una conoscenza subottimale e una non uniformità nella gestione del dolore tra i professionisti sanitari, evidenziando la necessità di interventi formativi mirati. L'obiettivo principale di questo studio è valutare l'impatto di un intervento informativo sulla gestione del dolore tra i professionisti sanitari della regione, comprendendo medici, infermieri, ostetrici e fisioterapisti. Si prevede di distribuire materiale informativo costruito ad hoc basato sulle lacune evidenziate dalla rilevazione del 2023 e di valutare successivamente le conoscenze tramite un questionario somministrato in modalità online. Gli obiettivi secondari del studio includono l'analisi dell'utilizzo dello strumento informativo e della sua percezione di utilità tra i professionisti sanitari. Il disegno dello studio prevede un'indagine di prevalenza pre e post intervento. Il questionario, basato su precedenti indagini e adattato per includere specifiche domande sull'intervento informativo, sarà somministrato due volte: prima dell'intervento informativo e dopo la sua implementazione, permettendo così di misurare le variazioni nelle conoscenze e nelle attitudini dei professionisti sanitari. I dati saranno raccolti in forma anonima tramite la piattaforma EU-Survey e saranno gestiti e analizzati dal coordinamento della Rete Cure Sicure FVG. L'analisi statistica si avvarrà di tecniche descrittive e test non parametrici per valutare le differenze nelle risposte pre e post intervento. Valori di p<0,05 verranno considerati statisticamente significativi. I risultati attesi dall'intervento informativo includono un miglioramento significativo delle conoscenze e competenze dei professionisti sanitari nella gestione del dolore, il che dovrebbe riflettersi in una migliore qualità delle cure erogate e una maggiore soddisfazione dei pazienti. La ricerca sottolinea l'importanza di interventi educativi continui e mirati nel settore sanitario per garantire un elevato standard di assistenza e aggiornamento professionale.

Abstract
Pain management is a critical aspect of healthcare, essential not only for improving patients' quality of life but also for preventing a range of physical and emotional complications. A regional survey conducted in Friuli Venezia Giulia highlighted suboptimal knowledge and inconsistencies in pain management among healthcare professionals, underscoring the need for targeted educational interventions. The primary goal of this study is to assess the impact of an informational intervention on pain management among healthcare professionals in the region, including physicians, nurses, midwives, and physiotherapists. The plan is to distribute specially designed informational materials based on gaps identified in the 2023 survey and to subsequently evaluate knowledge through a questionnaire administered online. Secondary objectives of the study include analyzing the usage and perceived utility of the informational tool among healthcare professionals. The study design involves a pre- and post-intervention prevalence survey. The questionnaire, based on previous surveys and adapted to include specific questions about the informational intervention, will be administered twice: before the informational intervention and after its implementation, thus measuring changes in the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare professionals. Data will be collected anonymously via the EU-Survey platform and managed and analyzed by the Cure Sicure FVG Network coordination. Statistical analysis will employ descriptive techniques and non-parametric tests to assess differences in responses pre- and post-intervention. Values of p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant. The expected results from the informational intervention include a significant improvement in the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals regarding pain management, which should reflect in better quality of care provided and greater patient satisfaction. The research emphasizes the importance of continuous and targeted educational interventions in the healthcare sector to ensure high standards of care and professional updating.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
