title: Measuring patients' perceptions of nursing care.
abstract: Each year pain disables approximately 50 million Americans. This study determined the relationships among pain management and patients' and nurses' perceptions of quality nursing care. This study was a secondary analysis of data for 91 patients, with additional data collected. How patients perceive their nursing care may correlate with how well their pain is managed.
