Abstract
Operating theatre nurses play the leading role in pain management and require thorough knowledge and skill in managing pain. The study aimed to find out the level of knowledge and attitude among nurses working in the operation theater. This study showed that 77.9% of operating theatre nurses in Hospital Melaka had a high level of knowledge, and 88.4% had a high attitude regarding pain management. Nurses specializing in the perioperative course have a slightly higher level of knowledge (78.2%) and attitude (87.3%). However, all nurses need to adhere to best practices in pain management.
