Abstract

Management of postoperative pain using patient controlled analgesia (PCA) has increased for its proven advantages over conventional methods of pain control. The purpose of this study was to investigate patients’ satisfaction about using PCA post surgical intervention among patients at Saudi health care settings. A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational design was used to collect data from patients using PCA post surgical interventions. The analysis showed that patients had a moderate to high level of perception about efficacy of PCA, and had a moderate level of knowledge about PCA use and its function. The duration of using a PCA pump, patients’ age, gender, marital status, educational level, type of surgery, and their work status were significant predictors ( F 7, 76 = 5.13, p
