ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the current situation of early postoperative pain beliefs in patients with mixed hemorrhoids and its influencing factors, and to provide a basis for formulating targeted intervention measures.Methods:Totally 242 postoperative patients with mixed hemorrhoids who were treated in Guilin Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine were selected by convenience sampling method from January 2020 to January 2021 as the research object. The general information questionnaire, Pain Belief and Perception Scale, Visual Analogue Scale, Positive and Negative Emotion Scale were used to investigate. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing of early postoperative pain beliefs in patients with mixed hemorrhoids.Results:The total score of early postoperative pain belief in patients with mixed hemorrhoids was -21-30 (5.32 ± 2.57) points; the results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, education level, anal visual analogue score, and negative emotion scores were main factors affecting their pain beliefs ( r=0.736, P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with mixed hemorrhoids have negative pain beliefs in the early postoperative period. Patients with advanced age, primary/junior high school, high anal pain intensity, and high negative emotion scores are more likely to have negative pain beliefs. Nursing staff should promptly formulate targeted intervention measures according to the main influencing factors in order to reduce the occurrence of negative beliefs about pain.
