Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate nurses’ knowledge about physiological and
behavioral pain indicators of newborn. The present study was a descriptive study. The
study included all nurses working in the intensive care units for newborns in Port Said
hospitals (N= 70). The data were collected using a questionnaire sheet .The results of this
study indicated that; the majority of the nurses had lack of knowledge about physiological
and behavioral indicators of pain in newborn. Moreover; no statistical significant
differences were found between nurses’ knowledge scores about pain in newborns and
their age, their level of education or their experience in neonatal intensive units. It is
recommended that nurses who cares for newborns should be familiar with and trained to
assess pain of newborns through in service-training programs and nurses must be
encourage to attend national, international conferences and workshops about pain
assessment and management of newborns.
