  "abstract": "<p>Introduction: Non-pharmacological pain management practices are very important for the successful treatment of pain. It<br>\nhas an impact on the patient&rsquo;s quality of life and the family&rsquo;s financial situation owing to missed workdays, direct medical<br>\nexpenses, and incapacity from pain.<br>\nObjective: Therefore, this study is intended to assess non-pharmacological pain management practice and associated factors<br>\namong nurses working at comprehensive specialized hospitals in northwest, Ethiopia.<br>\nMethods: Institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed from May 30 to June 30, 2022. A stratified random<br>\nsampling technique was used to select 322 study participants. A binary logistic regression model was used to identify factors<br>\nassociated with non-pharmacological pain management practice. Variables with a P-value less than .25 in the bi-variable analysis<br>\nwere entered into the multivariable logistic regression analysis and a P-value of less than .05 was considered as having a<br>\nstatistically significant association.<br>\nResults: A total of 322 nurses participated, with a response rate of 98.8%. It was found that 48.1% (95% CI: 42.65, 53.62) of<br>\nnurses had good practice in non-pharmacological pain management. Pain assessment tool availability (AOR = 1.68 [95% CI:<br>\n1.02, 2.75]) (P = .04), good pain assessment practice (AOR = 1.74 [95% CI: 1.03, 2.84]) (P = .03), favorable attitude (AOR =<br>\n1.71 [95% CI: 1.03, 2.95]) (P = .03), and age (26&ndash;35) (AOR = 4.46 [95% CI: 1.24, 16.18]) (P = .02) were factors significantly<br>\nrelated to non-pharmacological pain management practice.<br>\nConclusion: According to this work, the prevalence of non-pharmacological pain management practices was found to be<br>\nlow. Good pain assessment practices, availability of pain assessment tools, favorable attitude, and age (26&ndash;35) years were significant<br>\nfactors of non-pharmacological pain management practice. Hospitals are better give training on non-pharmacological<br>\npain management methods for nurses as they are important to treat pain holistically, increase patient satisfaction, and are costeffective.</p>",
