tools for measuring the quality of care in health center. There is a paucity of data regarding to
this topic, as it does not previously been studied yet in study area.
Objective: This study aimed to assessing magnitude of patient satisfaction with postoperative
pain management and its associated factors among elective surgical patients postoperatively at
Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, from Feb to Apr, 2021.
Method: Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted among 335 adult patients using
systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires
based on the modified APS-POQ to obtain responses from the patients. Both bi-variable and
multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to evaluate the association. P-value less than
0.05 considered as statistically significant.
Result: The find of this study revealed that 74.5% of patients were satisfied with overall pain
management services. Patients with ASA I (AOR = 2.3; 95%CI: (1.06-5.08), received
multimodal analgesics (AOR 4.30; 95% CI: (2.02- 9.18), no perceived pain (AOR =6.7; 95%
CI: (1.54-29.7), had pain discussion (AOR = 8.9;95% CI: (3.67-21.90) and waiting for analgesia
service less than 30 minute (AOR =6.3;95% CI: (1.34-29.58) were more satisfied with their pain
management.
Conclusion: The study shows that patient satisfaction with postoperative pain management was
low in our setup as compared with many studies. Thus, there is need to improve perceived
