Objective To investigate the effects of pain specialist nurse training (PSNT) on nurse’s pain management knowledge and attitude.
Methods By distributing the “questionnaire of pain management knowledge and attitude”, 95 certified nurses, who were from 24 hospitals of different levels in Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and Xinjiang, were investigated to survey their knowledge and attitude changes before and after PSNT.

The result showed that, the total score after training (34.00±5.30) was significantly higher than that before training (17.58±4.00), with a significant difference (P=0.000).
