A Survey to Evaluate the Knowledge and Attitude of Anesthesiology Resident Doctors towards Perioperative Pain Assessment in Children.

Of 480 surveys circulated, 210 (43.7%) were returned.

While 183 (87.1%) respondents reported awareness of pediatric pain assessment tools, knowledge was incomplete.

Just 24.3% knew that facial expressions are the most studied behavioral indicator of neonatal pain.

Although 90% acknowledged the importance of documentation, responses indicated a gap between theoretical awareness and practical application.
