Abstract

The research aimed to explore mothers’ involvement in their child’s postoperative pain management, in hospital and following discharge, and to identify ways in which their participation in pain management activities can be strengthened.This was a qualitative single case study. Data were collected through participant observations with 20 mother/child dyads and semi-structured interviews with those mothers, as well as semi-structured interviews with 21 nurses, and a review of documents in the paediatric surgical department (hospital policies and forms). Thematic analysis was carried out with NVivo software.
