Nurse practitioner led pain management the day after Caesarean section : a randomised controlled trial

(2017) Nurse practitioner led pain management the day after Caesarean section : a randomised controlled trial. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Caesarean pain is a major problem for women in the days after childbirth and is often not well controlled with the routine practice of twice daily controlled-release oxycodone. This randomised controlled trial demonstrated that a nurse practitioner intervention designed to support maternal participation using immediate-release oxycodone and supportive educational strategies was a safe and effective approach for pain management after caesarean section. At three months follow-up, a small subset of women had persistent pain which was strongly correlated with postnatal depression. Nurse practitioners have the potential to transform acute pain management by meeting individual patient needs over their healthcare journey.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
