Abstract

PURPOSE
This study was done to develop a evidence-based guideline for pain assessment and management in Korea by adapting previously developed pain guidelines.
METHODS
The guideline adaptation process was conducted using 24 steps according to the guideline adaptation manual developed by Hospital Nurses Association in 2012.

The number of recommendations in each domain was: 13 general instruction items, 51 pain assessments, 14 pain interventions, 66 pharmacological interventions for acute pain, 41 pharmacological interventions for chronic cancer pain, 35 pharmacological interventions for chronic noncancer pain, 21 non-pharmacological interventions, 2 documentations, 10 nursing education items, for pain.
CONCLUSION
The findings suggest that the new pain management guideline can be used to address pain in hospital settings.
