Anaesthetist play an important role as part of multidisciplinary team in managing pain postoperatively. Lack of knowledge and insufficient emphasis on paediatric pain management during specialty training has been attributed as one of the main factor of under recognized and undertreated pain in children. Objectives: This study aims to assess the level of knowledge of paediatric post-operative pain management among trainees in this centre and to determine if sociodemographic factor (such as gender, level of qualification, prior pain or paediatric posting) have an independent association with level of knowledge Methods: The questionnaire was adapted from previous studies. The questionnaire has 35 questions consisted of 17 multiple choice questions and 18 true or false questions to cover 2 domains: 1) use of age-appropriate pediatric pain assessment (10 questions) and 2) pediatric pain treatment (25 questions). Performance levels defined based on total score in percentage; Poor (<50 %), Average (50- 69%), Above average (70- 79%) and Excellent (≥ 80%). Frequency of each items answered correctly will reflects; 1) area of strength - if ≥70% of participants answered correctly for each item analysed ; 2)area of weakness - if ≤30%of participants answered correctly for each item analysed. All 46 participants were mainly anaesthesiology master students and specialists working in HUSM. Data were analysed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: The response rate was 83.6%. Half of the study population regarded their level of knowledge as low based on self-assessment. For the total of 35 questions, the mean correct score was 20.4 ± 3.34 (58.2%). The highest score was 26 and the lowest score was 13. For pain assessment domain; the mean proportion of correct score was 53% (range 20% to 90%). For pain treatment domain; the mean proportion of correct score was 60.4% (range 36% to 80%). There was no significant association between having done pain and/or paediatric posting and mean score, pvalue= 0.698, X2(df)= 1.43). Conclusion: Knowledge among trainees in HUSM still have a lot of room for improvement. Encouraging more trainees to go for paediatric rotation and providing more time for trainees to rotate in the paediatric area, could potentially improve the quality of knowledge about paediatric postoperative pain management 2017 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/42571/ http://eprints.usm.my/42571/1/Dr._Amira_Aishah_Che_Ani-24_pages.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Sains Perubatan
