| description | Management of pain at dressing changes still appears to be an issue that is
poorly managed in the clinical practice, causing the patient considerable distress. The
aim of this study is to determine the wound-related pain among postoperative
orthopedics patients at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (Hospital USM). This cross
sectional study also examined the difference level of pain with gender and difference
level of pain with location of wound. Sixty hospitalized patients in the three
orthopedic wards at Hospital USM were recruited in this study using purposive
sampling. Data were collected from January to March 2014 using assessment tools
and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 for frequency, percentage, mean, standard
deviation and p-value. The orthopedic patients reported their level of pain during
wound dressing as being moderate pain (M= 4.6, SD= 1.15). 23 (38.3%) patients
reported pain during dressing change. The study found that there is no significant
difference between level of pain and location of wound (p= 0.08). In addition, there is
a significant different between level of pain and gender (p= 0.001). Thus, nurses
should identify the wound-related pain during wound dressing among orthopedics
patients to improve the management of pain as well as quality of nursing care in order
to prevent further complications to the patients. |
