Abstract

Objectives: This study was designed to examine methods used by elderly patients to cope with pain and serve as a guide for nurses.Methods: This descriptive survey was carried out with geriatric patients (n=100) aged 60 years or more in inpatient Algology Unit of a university hospital between November 28, 2014 and January 28, 2015. Data were collected using descriptive characteristics questionnaire prepared based on review of the literature and via one-on-one interviews using Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ). Data were evaluated using descriptive statistical methods, Independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance test, and Pearson correlation coefficient.Results: Duration of pain experienced by the patients ranged from 1 month to 40 years, with mean duration of 63.57±82.65 months. Mean subscale scores of PCQ were: self-management, 19.22±6.54; helplessness, 13.45±3.86; conscious coping efforts, 11.90±3.97; and medical remedies, 12.62±3.98. Score of the patients who reported that they could manage their pain on their own (p<0.05), and of those who relied on medical remedies, believing that pain control is in the hands of nurses (p<0.05), were significantly higher.Conclusion: Means of coping with pain vary in geriatric patients and it is recommended that these differences be taken into account in nursing interventions

Özet

Amaç: Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma geriatrik ağrı hastalarının ağrıyla başa çıkma yollarını belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte yapılan araştırma, bir üniversite hastanesinin Algoloji Servisi'nde yatan, 60 yaş ve üzerinde olan 28 Kasım 2014-28 Ocak 2015 tarihleri arasında 100 hastayla yürütüldü. Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından ilgili literatür taranarak hazırlanan Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Veri Formu ve Ağrıyla Başa Çıkma Ölçeği kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel metodlar, t testi, One-way Anova testi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Hastaların ağrı yaşama süresi 1 ay ile 40 yıl arasında değişmekte olup, ortalama ağrı yaşama süresi 63.57±82.65 aydı. Hastaların ağrıyla başa çıkma ölçek alt boyutundan aldıkları puan ortalamaları; kendi kendine başa çıkma 19.22±6.54, çaresizlik 13.45±3.86, bilinçli bilişsel girişimler 11.90±3.97 ve tıbbi çare arama 12.62±3.98 idi. Ağrı kontrolünün kendisinde olduğu inancına sahip hastaların kendi kendine başa çıkma ölçek puanları (p<0.05), ağrı kontrolünün hemşirede olduğuna inancına sahip olanların tıbbi çare arama ölçek puanları (p<0.05) anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulundu.Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, geriatrik bireyin ağrıyla başa çıkma yolları değişiklik göstermekte ve uygulanacak hemşirelik girişimlerinde bu farklılıkların göz önüne alınması önerilmektedir
