The acknowledgment of pain in newborns hospitalized in intensive care units makes it essential to implement strategies for assessment, intervention, and prevention. The nursing professional plays a key role in evaluating and responding to pain, as appropriate and timely intervention improves the neonate's quality of life. This study arises from the need to understand the relationship between pain, knowledge level, and the attitude of nurses towards pain management in premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit at the National Maternal Perinatal Institute – 2022. The research will have a quantitative approach, be applied in nature, and use a non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational design. The study will involve a census population of 80 nursing professionals. The data collection technique will be a survey, and a questionnaire will be used to assess the pain knowledge and attitudes of the nursing professionals, instruments validated in previous studies. Descriptive statistical analysis methods will be used to present the results, with relative frequency tables to provide the categories for each variable. To validate the hypothesis, the Chi-square test, an independence test, will be employed.
