In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the use andhelpfulness of the methods practiced by patients to manage low back pain after lumbar discherniation surgery.Methods: This study was carried out with 99 voluntary patients who were hospitalized in theneurosurgery department of a university hospital in Turkey, between April 18, 2016 and December14, 2017. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, Pain Management Inventory,and Visual Analog Scale.Results: The mean low back pain severity score of the patients was 6.41±2.08. To relieve low backpain, the most used pain management method and the first method identified by the patients asmost helpful in relieving pain was taking prescribed medication.Conclusion: Study findings suggest that patients who suffer low back pain after lumbar discherniation surgery used prescription medicine and find it helpful. Because ongoing pain medicationmay mask the symptoms of lumber disc herniation progression, it is important that nurseswho work at neurosurgery department should provide sufficient information for the patientsabout the pain management after surgery.en_US
