Stage 1- educational intervention
A thinking task force that structured the
educational intervention and its assessment was composed of the Director
of the Internal Medicine Department, an intern, a nurse who served as
pain trustees in the department, and pain specialists from the Institue
for Pain Medicine at Rambam medical center in Haifa, Israel. This
cooperation led to the development of the educational intervention,
which included the following 4 tools: Satisfaction and knowledge
questionnaires (Appendices A + B), Pain relief Protocol (Appendix C) and
Weekly Training sessions (Appendix D).
