description | BACKGROUND: Pain is a common burden of disease globally; yet, it is not systematically investigated in China, especially in hospitalized patients. This study was aimed at clarifying the epidemiological characteristics of pain and related factors in hospitalized patients in Southwest China. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence, severity, and influencing factors of pain and modes of postoperative analgesia in hospitalized patients from 17 hospitals in Southwest China. A prevalidated questionnaire was employed to calibrate all of these items within 3 days from March 18, 2015 to March 20, 2015. RESULTS: A total of 2293 patients were surveyed, the incidence of pain was 57.4% in all hospitalized patients at rest, of which 62.1% were with acute pain and 37.9% had persistent to chronic pain. Among surgical patients, 90.8% of them complained of acute postoperative pain at rest and 97.1% in motion. The incidence of acute postoperative moderate-to-severe pain was 28.8% at rest and 45.1% in motion. Surgical patients reported higher incidences of pain, especially acute and persistent pain compared with nonsurgical patients (P < 0.05). Postoperative pain occurred predominately at surgical sites (95.2%) as compared with nonsurgical sites (4.8%). Agedness, lower education level, surgery, and history of smoking were factors associated with increased duration and severity of postoperative pain and nonsurgical pain (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Pain is a common burden of disease in China, of which surgical pain constituted an important component. Surgical patients complained more severe pain than those who did not undergo surgery. Postoperative analgesia still needs to be improved to control pain after surgery. Patients' perception might influence the efficacy of pain management, which should be implemented with a multidisciplinary approach. |
