According to the results of logistic regression analysis, the risk factors were determined as being between 30-65 age groups (OR: 0.215 p=0.008 ) and had graduated from elementary school and lower education level (OR: 3.427 p=0.021) for experiencing life long frequent pain; being female (OR= 3.003 p=0.016 ) and married (OR: 4.550 p=0.005) for experiencing pain within last one year; being between 30-65 age groups (OR=3.027 p=0.027) and had a lower income (OR=4.932 p=0.001) for chronic pain.

Abstract

Objective: In order to control pain which is a prevalent problem, to get knowledge regarding pain and pain beliefs is crucial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between pain, pain beliefs and the socio-demographic, economic characteristics at the adult population. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was completed with 131 individuals between 18-65 ages. A questionnaire form, evaluating socio-demographic and economical status, pain traits as well, and Pain Beliefs Scale were used for data collection. Results: 78.6% of the research group experienced pain within last one year; of 38.8% suffered from chronic pain. According to the results of logistic regression analysis, the risk factors were determined as being between 30-65 age groups (OR: 0.215 p=0.008 ) and had graduated from elementary school and lower education level (OR: 3.427 p=0.021) for experiencing life long frequent pain; being female (OR= 3.003 p=0.016 ) and married (OR: 4.550 p=0.005) for experiencing pain within last one year; being between 30-65 age groups (OR=3.027 p=0.027) and had a lower income (OR=4.932 p=0.001) for chronic pain. However the organic and psychological pain beliefs scores were similar, socio-demographic and economic determinants were not significant for organic subscale (p>0.05); lower income determined 11% of psychological subscale (R2=0.115, p<0.05). Conclusions: The conclusions obtained from the research was that socio-demographic and economic status were risk factors for experiencing pain, and cultural factors related to pain beliefs warrant investigation.

Özet

Amaç: Yaygın bir sorun olan ağrının kontrol altına alınmasında ağrı ve ağrı inançlarını etkileyen faktörlerin bilinmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı yetişkin nüfusta ağrı ve ağrı inançlarının sosyo-demografik ve ekonomik özelliklerle ilişkinin değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel türdeki bu çalışma 18-65 yaş arası 131 birey ile yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyo-demografik ve ekonomik durum ile ağrıya ilişkin özellikleri değerlendiren anket formu ve Ağrı İnançları ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma grubunun % 78.6’sı son bir yıl içinde ağrı yaşarken, % 38.8’i kronik ağrı yakınması vardır. Lojistik regresyon analiz sonuçlarına göre yaşam boyunca sıklıkla ağrı yaşama için 30-65 yaş grubunda yer almak (OR: 0.215 p=0.008 ) ve eğitim düzeyinin ilkokul ve daha düşük düzeyde olması (OR: 3.427 p=0.021); son bir yıl içinde ağrı yaşama için cinsiyetin kadın olması (OR= 3.003 p=0.016 ) ve evli olma (OR: 4.550 p=0.005); kronik ağrı yaşama içinse 30-65 yaş grubunda yer almak (OR=3.027 p=0.027) ve düşük gelir (OR=4.932 p=0.001) risk faktörleri olarak belirlenmiştir. Organik ve psikolojik ağrı inançları puanı benzer olmakla birlikte sosyo-demografik ve ekonomik belirleyicilerin ölçeğin organik boyutu için anlamlı olmadığı (p>0.05); düşük gelirin psikolojik inançları %11 oranında belirlediği görülmektedir (R2=0.115, p<0.05). Sonuç: Araştırmada sosyo-demografik ve ekonomik durumun ağrı yaşama için risk faktörü olduğu ve ağrı inançlarına yönelik kültürel faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
