Road traffic injuries are a serious issue that negatively impacts public health and safety on a worldwide basis and may have disastrous consequences on people, families, and communities. Road traffic injuries are one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Nurses are vital for the treatment of patients with injuries from traffic accidents. When a patient with a traffic accident arrives at the emergency room, nurses are often the first medical professionals to take care of patients.
Aim: To find out the intervention of acute pain management for road traffic injuries patients in the emergency ward.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to gather the evidence-based information about how to monitor and manage the acute pain for road traffic injuries patients in the emergency ward.
Method: A literature review is an effective way for combining research findings to demonstrate evidence at the meta-level and identify areas that require additional study. CINAHL and PubMed were the two electronic databases used for this study's literature search which is available at Janet Finna for JAMK students.
Results: These articles originated from various countries, including one from Rwanda, two from Ethiopia, and one each from China and the USA. The findings are categorized into the main categories including assessment and monitoring of pain, pharmacological management, non-pharmacological management, and stress reduction. The findings of this study provide valuable assistance in managing acute pain in the emergency ward for patients with road traffic injuries. This can be achieved through the utilization of tools such as the numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain assessment, as well as non-pharmacological approaches including psychological support, positioning therapy, and relaxation techniques.
