Background: The perception, knowledge and attitude of nurses about neonatal pain
care is assessed and analysed through already published articles. Task and objective:
The researchers viewed nurses’ perceptions through existing articles. Aim is to reviewed nurses’ perception, knowledge and attitude on neonatal pain management and
the effect of pain on neonates. The purpose is to find means to improve neonatal pain
management. Implementation method: Literature Review is used in this study. The researchers searched articles from CINAHL, Wiley Online Library and google scholar
from which they got 1582 articles, of which 12 articles were used in the research. The
research questions used is How are nurses assessing and managing neonatal pain.?
How neonates feel pain?
Result: New-born babies are mature enough to perceive pain before birth. Ineffective
management of neonatal pain have short and long-time developmental consequence.
Most nurses lack the knowledge needed to manage neonatal pain. Most neonatal ward
do not have register record about analgesic use. Low dose analgesic is proven to have
less negative effect on neonates, but analgesic use is neglected in new-born by many
hospital settings. Conclusion: Pharmacological intervention as well as nonpharmacological intervention must be considered when managing neonatal pain.
