2016 AUG 7 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Medical Devices &Surgical Technology
Week -- Investigators publish new report on Post-Operative Pain. According to news reporting from Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Alleviating acute pain and providing pain relief are
central to caring for surgical patients as pain can lead to many adverse medical consequences. This study
aimed to explore patients' experience of pain and satisfaction with postoperative pain control."
The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the University of Malaya, "A cross-sectional
survey was carried out among 107 respondents who had undergone abdominal surgery in the surgical ward of
an urban hospital using the Revised American Pain Society's Patient Outcome and Satisfaction Survey
Questionnaires (APS-POQ-R). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. Chi-square
test showed significant association between race (P=0.038), education level (P0.001), previous operation status
(P=0.032) and operation status (P0.001). Further analysis on nominal regression, association between
dissatisfaction with factors of operation status (46.09 (95% CI 7.456, 284.947)) and previous operation status
(13.38 (95% CI 1.39, 128.74)) was found to be significant. Moderate to high levels of pain intensity in the last
24h after surgery, as well as moderate to high rates of pain-related interference with care activities were most
reported."
According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "Pain still remains an issue among surgical patients,
and effective pain management and health education are needed to manage pain more effectively after
surgery."
