Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine surgical patients' satisfaction of
postoperative pain management in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia
(HUSM). Gate Control Theory of Pain is used as a guide in this study. A
descriptive cross-sectional design is used to conduct the study. The Strategic
and Clinical Quality Indicators in Postoperative Pain Management (SCQIPP)
questionnaires were given to patients by self administered distribution and
guidelines interview. The population was all the hospitalized patients after
elective major surgery in HUSM such as general, orthopedic and thoracic
surgery. There were 30 patients volunteered to participate in this study which
were 28 Malay and one Chinese patient. Their age is range from 18 to 60 and
above years old. The findings showed that there is no items of 14 items in the
SCQIPP questionnaires achieved high satisfaction of postoperative pain
management (>4.5) but six items had low satisfaction of postoperative pain
management which is less than 4.0. The result showed item-14 is the highest
mean score and item-7 is the lowest mean score. Findings the subscales of
action and trust is <4.0 while subscales of communication and environment in range 4.0 to 4.5. There is no significant different between expectation of pain
after surgery and surgical patients' satisfaction of postoperative pain
management, but have a correlation with satisfaction of pain relief. These
postoperative pain management is a very important to reflects patient's evaluation of the action, communication, trust, environment and intervention
taken by nurses and doctors in reducing pain intensity. It has important input
on patients experience, recovery and health cost. Patients who experienced
more pain or did not than expected after surgery does not mean they were
satisfied with the pain management. However, when they satisfied with pain
relief it shows that they satisfied with the postoperative pain management
given.
