A B S T R A C TPain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual orpotential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage. APS-POQ-R (RevisedAmerican Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire) is a measuring tool for assessingthe quality of postoperative pain management by exploring patient experiences andoutcomes. This research aims to assess the quality of postoperative pain managementat Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang and to determine the factors that influenceit. The Cross-sectional observational analytic study was conducted toward 51respondents. Data was collected primarily by using questionnares and interview. Datawas analyzed by using chi-square. The study showed that the quality of postoperativepain management at RSUP Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang has goodquality with a total of 27 patients (52.9%). From statistical analysis there wassignificant relationship between the quality of post-operative pain management withage (p=0,037), gender (p=0,027), ethnicity (p=0,039), education level (p=0,039), andeconomic level (p=0,005). So it can be concluded that was a significant relationshipbetween the quality of post-operative pain management with age, gender, ethnicity,education level, and economic level.

Pain measurement is essential in evaluating response to analgesic therapy. The oral route is the route of choice for analgesics in non-fasting patients. Administering opioids by the neuraxial route provides superior analgesia to the same drug administered by parenteral routes. Clinical practice guidelines may be useful in acute pain management. Acute Pain Services improve the quality of post-operative pain management.

Multidisciplinary Pain Management

The use of painkillers ranging from simple analgesics to strong opioids is a common feature in the acute pain management of haematological conditions. However, each disease also has its own specific aetiological factors for pain, requiring specific treatment. Haematological patients with chronic pain on long-term opioid therapy may require multidisciplinary pain management to improve quality of life and prevent chronic escalation of opioid doses. Intramuscular injections should be avoided in all patients. The use of pethidine (meperidine) is not recommended.

Abstract Background and aims This paper forms part of a study evaluating the effect of patient-controlled oral analgesia for patients admitted to hospital with acute abdominal pain. Pain is a subjective experience, and a multifaceted evaluation tool concerning patient-reported outcome measures is needed to monitor, evaluate, and guide health care professionals in the quality of pain management. The Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R) is a validated multifaceted evaluation tool for measuring patient-reported pain experiences to evaluate different pain management interventions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a modified Danish version of the Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R-D) used during and after hospitalization for patients with acute abdominal pain. Methods The APS-POQ-R was translated into Danish and two slightly different questionnaires were formed. Questionnaire one had 39 items and the six subscales pain severity (pain), perception of care (satisfaction), pain interference with function (activity) and emotions (emotion), side effects of treatment (safety), and patient-related barriers to pain management. The questionnaire focused on time during hospital stay and was to be completed at discharge. Questionnaire two included 25 items and the five subscales pain, satisfaction, activity, emotion, and safety and focused on time at home and was to be completed daily 1 week after discharge. The questionnaires were tested on 156 patients with acute abdominal pain. Internal consistency reliability and construct validity was examined. Results In both questionnaires, the results of correlations and tests for internal consistency reliability showed a Cronbach’s alpha of >0.7 for the pain, activity, and emotion subscales, but the value was ≥0.69 for the satisfaction subscale. In questionnaire one, Cronbach’s alpha was ≤0.64 for the safety subscale, but this was 0.73 when the item “itching” was deleted. In questionnaire two, Cronbach’s alpha was ≤0.51 for the safety subscale. For the patient-barrier subscale in questionnaire one, Cronbach’s alpha was ≤0.62 for any combination of the items in the subscale. The results of the construct validity and factor analysis showed a five-factor structure in questionnaire one and a three-factor structure in questionnaire two. In questionnaire one, items from the pain, activity, emotion, and safety subscales, except for the items “least pain” and “itching,” loaded on factor one. In questionnaire two, all items from the pain, activity, and emotion subscales loaded on factor one. Conclusions The modified APS-POQ-R-D demonstrated adequate psychometric properties for the five subscales pain severity (pain), perception of care (satisfaction), pain interference with function (activity) and emotions (emotion), side effects of treatment (safety), but not for the patient-barrier subscale for patients hospitalized with acute abdominal pain. Consequently, the APS-POQ-R-D may be used without the patient-barrier subscale. Implications The clinical implications of this study may help clinicians with investigating how acute patients manage pain during and after hospital admission.
