Application of Postoperative Analgesics

This research aims to study, in postoperative gastric patients: (1) Their actual use of drugs in response to pain, (2) Beliefs about pain and opioid analgesics, and (3)
Correlation between their individual diagnosis and beliefs about opioid analgesics and postoperative pain, and their application of analgesics for postoperative pain. A
cross-sectional descriptive design and purposive sampling were applied in this research to conduct structured questionnaire interviews using the Pain Assessment Form (PAF), Pain and Opioid Analgesics Beliefs Scale-Surgical Pain Version (POABS-SP) and Brief Pain Coping Inventory-Pharmacological Pain Coping
(BPCI-PPC) with postoperative gastric patients at four teaching hospitals in northern Taiwan. Descriptive statistics and Spearman correlative and stepwise regression were used for data analysis and a total of 126 patients were interviewed. The results of some individual cases in this research show that: (1) patients sensed small “pain intensity cm average and moderate to severe worst pain intensity’, (2) patients generally had negative pain beliefs, especially beliefs about higher tolerance to pain,
about pain and opioid analgesics, and (3) patients with high worst pain intensity and pain intensity on average, who had been diagnosed with cancer or who had positive beliefs about pain and opioid analgesics would be more likely to use analgesics for postoperative pain relief. The research results also support the view that pain beliefs, pain intensity and diagnosis type are influential factors for the application of
analgesics after surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate and also to deal with these related factors during clinical care so as to allow patients to use analgesics more effectively.
