Treatment of postoperative pain and non-pharmacologic practices in nursing systematic review: Results of Turkish doctoral dissertation in 2000-2015.

CONCLUSION: Non-pharmacologic pain management is an effective way to reduce pain severity and it can be independently used by nurses. Researchers of dissertations often choose non-pharmacologic practices that have no side effects, have minimum risk, are not detrimental to patients, are easy to administer, and are cost-efficient. Effective non-pharmacologic methods specific to groups by age, sex, and medical diagnosis should be identified by literature review for each non-pharmacologic method in future studies.
