Method: In this descriptive and cross-sectional study 250 patient files were reviewed. As data collection tool, personel characteristics form, Abbreviated Injury Assessment Scale (AIS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Injury Severity Scale (ISS) and Revized Trauma Score (RTS) were used. Descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation analysis were used in the SPSS 15,0 package program. Results: The mean age of the patients was 38.92±15.00 years. 60.4% of them were =38 years old. While 64.4% of the group consisted of males and the mean body mass index of study population was 25.66±2.45 kg/m2 The indicated proportion of the patients were overweight (64%), high school graduates (57.2%) and civil servants/workers (78.4%). The mean scale scores of the patients hospitalized in emergency trauma units were as follows: AIS:4.69±2.20, ISS:5.09±2.52, GCS:13.85±1.84, VAS:5.87±1.92 and RTS:11.96±0.32 Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that the severity of injury was not serious, the level of consciousness was open, the level of pain was moderate and analgesic administration was performed for all patients. In emergency trauma units, it is suggested that the training programs of the all team members should be organized to increase awareness and knowledge of pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods in pain management.
