This is a report of a scoping review undertaken to obtain an overview of studies conducted on pain management education programs (PMEPs). The aim of this review was to describe existing research publications relating to PMEP to map how pain management practice training might directly influence surgical nurses in contributing to successful pain outcomes in patients. The initial search of electronic databases identified 40 articles according to the inclusion criteria and search strategy, which applied the following terms: (“Pain management education program”) AND OR (“Nurses”) AND OR (“Patient outcomes”) AND (“Mixed methods”). Titles, abstracts, and keywords were also searched for the term “Nurse education.” After applying exclusion criteria, five relevant peer-reviewed articles were eventually selected for the final charting of the data. The search included articles published between January 2015 and March 2019. The results show that PMEPs employ a variety of computer-based simulation, web-based facilitation, and video materials based on an evidence-based approach in their syllabuses. PMEPs were shown to enhance practice by promoting improved skills in critical thinking, leadership, patient management, and health promotion. Additionally, these programs promote an ability to practice across a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, wherein nurses’ engagement in managing patients’ pain increased after completing the PMEP. Research within PMEP indicates that these programs may contribute to promoting opportunities for new collaborations within multidisciplinary team projects. Additionally, further research initiatives are needed to explore various aspects of these programs to enhance the nursing skills required for effective pain management, such as computer-based simulation, web-based facilitation, and video materials. Moreover, research relating to PMEPs in low- and middle-income countries is scarce and warrants further study.

疼痛管理教育计划（PMEP）的范围回顾：他们是否准备好护士来应对患者的术后疼痛？

这是一项范围界定审查的报告，旨在进行有关疼痛管理教育计划（PMEP）的研究概述。这篇综述的目的是描述与PMEP相关的现有研究出版物，以描绘疼痛管理实践培训如何直接影响外科护士为患者成功实现疼痛预后做出贡献。电子数据库的初步搜索根据纳入标准和搜索策略确定了40篇文章，并采用以下术语：（“疼痛管理教育计划”）和/或（“护士”）和/或（“患者结果”）和（“混合方法”）。还在标题，摘要和关键字中搜索了“护士教育”一词。应用排除标准后，最终选择了五篇相关的同行评审文章作为最终数据图表。搜索包括在2015年1月至2019年3月之间发表的文章。结果显示PMEP在课程提纲中采用了多种基于计算机的模拟，基于网络的简化工具和基于循证方法的视频材料。事实证明，PMEP通过提高批判性思维，领导才能，患者管理和健康促进方面的技能来增强实践。此外，这些计划提高了在各种住院和门诊环境中进行练习的能力，其中，完成PMEP后，护士在管理患者痛苦方面的参与度有所提高。PMEP内的研究表明，这些计划可能有助于在多学科团队项目中促进新合作机会。此外，需要进一步的研究计划来探索这些计划的各个方面，以增强有效疼痛管理所需的护理技能，例如基于计算机的模拟，基于网络的促进和视频材料。此外，在低收入和中等收入国家中与PMEP相关的研究很少，需要进一步研究。基于网络的便利和视频资料。此外，在低收入和中等收入国家中与PMEP相关的研究很少，需要进一步研究。基于网络的便利和视频资料。此外，在低收入和中等收入国家中与PMEP相关的研究很少，需要进一步研究。
