Tiivistelmä
The recovery of a patient after surgery is a crucial health process of a patient's healthcare and directly impacts their welfare and system. Hence, the practice of immediate care after the postoperative period in a planned hospital healthcare is vital. This thesis addresses the understanding of encountering post-operative pain as a nurse and the nursing practices required in responding to a patient’s pain within a Finnish cultural context.
This thesis was implemented as a functional project which had a purpose in producing an educational video for nurses on how to best encounter patients with a non-pharmacological approach for treating post-operative pain, to support nurses in the Satakunta Hospital District. The aim of the project was to provide nursing educational material in Finnish to Satasairaala. The product supports the continuous educational development for nurses. The project was written using the Hybrid methodology, which consisted of a mixture of Waterfall and Agile methods.
The theoretical part of the project-based thesis entails the various detailed techniques of non-pharmacological treatments and its effects on the body. The final product is an educational video. The educational video is to be presented in Finnish with subtitles in English which will provide nurses with the various non-pharmacological methods to use on patients while encountering them in an effective manner.
