PAIN, POSTOPERATIVE, MEDICAL ONCOLOGY, PATIENTS, PAIN MEASUREMENTAbstract
Background: pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with tissue damage.
Objective: to characterize the assessment of postsurgical pain in oncological patients treated at the “Marie Curie” Oncological Hospital, Camagüey, Cuba, during the year 2019.
Methods: a cross-sectional analytical study was performed with surgical oncological patients of the aforementioned hospital and during the period stated in the objective. The sample was made up of 309 patients aged 20 years or over.
Results: most of the surgical oncological patients were over the fifth decade of life and female. Smoking was found in 271 patients (87,7 %). According to the scale applied, in more than half of the patients (66,66 %) no pain was found in the six hours of recovery stay; however, in 98 patients the pain was moderate to severe and five patients were assessed with intense pain. In the estimates of the functional logistic regression, the variable had a regression coefficient significantly different from 0 (p 0,000) and an adjusted odds ratio of 3,934, which implies that it is more than three times probable that a surgical oncological patient has tachycardia caused by postoperative pain. Pain is three times more probable as a precipitating factor for high blood pressure and two times for the patient to suffer from dyspnea caused by pain.
Conclusions: postoperative pain was assessed in the sample of oncological patients.
