Pain is an inevitable consequence following day surgery, but with effective regular pain relief minimal discomfort can be achieved.
An information leaflet produced by a pain nurse specialist in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team ensures that comprehensible and non-contradictory information is given to parents.
With the increased trend towards paediatric day surgery parents are significant contributors to their child's care in the postoperative period.
Written information on pain relief after discharge can help parents make decisions about their child's pain management.
Key Words: Children Day surgery Information leaflets Management Pain Parents.
