AbstractAimsTo test the effectiveness of the Pain Resource Nurse (PRN) education program in a university hospital.MethodsThis was a randomized controlled trial. Two nurses from each of the 23 participating surgical and medical units were selected to participate in the PRN program. The program consisted of a three day course in pain management with a structured follow up. After a baseline measurement, the units were randomized to either receive the intervention or to serve as a wait-list control. The control group received the intervention following a second data collection 10 months from baseline. Data regarding knowledge and attitudes regarding pain were collected from nurses, but patient data were collected with the American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire and from medical records. Patients had to be ≥18 years, hospitalized for ≥24 h, alert and able to participate.ResultsParticipating patients were 308 at T1 (73% response rate (RR)) and 329 at T2 (79% RR). Participating nurses were 224 (48% RR) at T1 and 176 (38% RR) at T2. No difference was found between the intervention and control groups regarding knowledge and attitudes of nurses, or in any of the patient outcome variables. The only significant effect of the intervention was improvement in documented standardized pain assessment, which increased from 12% at T1 to 24% at T2 on the intervention units, compared to a decrease from 12% at T1 to 9% at T2 on the control units, p < 0.05.ConclusionsPatient outcomes remained unchanged after the intervention, as were nurses’ knowledge and attitudes. The intervention was, however, successful in changing pain assessment practices. Multifarious efforts to change nursing practice resulted in modest changes. Further studies are needed to advance pain management practices in clinical settings.

Purpose This study reports on the treatment fidelity procedures implemented during a 5-year randomized controlled trial comparing intensive and distributed comprehensive aphasia therapy. Specifically, the results of 1 treatment, verb network strengthening treatment (VNeST), are examined. Method Eight participants were recruited for each of 7 consecutive cohorts for a total of 56 participants. Participants completed 60 hr of aphasia therapy, including 15 hr of VNeST. Two experienced speech-language pathologists delivered the treatment. To promote treatment fidelity, the study team developed a detailed manual of procedures and fidelity checklists, completed role plays to standardize treatment administration, and video-recorded all treatment sessions for review. To assess protocol adherence during treatment delivery, trained research assistants not involved in the treatment reviewed video recordings of a subset of randomly selected VNeST treatment sessions and completed the fidelity checklists. This process was completed for 32 participants representing 2 early cohorts and 2 later cohorts, which allowed for measurement of protocol adherence over time. Percent accuracy of protocol adherence was calculated across clinicians, cohorts, and study condition (intensive vs. distributed therapy). Results The fidelity procedures were sufficient to promote and verify a high level of adherence to the treatment protocol across clinicians, cohorts, and study condition. Conclusion Treatment fidelity strategies and monitoring are feasible when incorporated into the study design. Treatment fidelity monitoring should be completed at regular intervals during the course of a study to ensure that high levels of protocol adherence are maintained over time and across conditions.
