Özet:

 Objective: Pain, called the fifth vital sign, is also known as an indicator of quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of pain in adult patients hospitalized in a university hospital in western Türkiye. Material and method: After obtaining ethical committee approval, this cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence of pain and associated factors in hospitalized patients who met the inclusion criteria using a face-to-face survey method between May 1-31, 2022. Sociodemographic data surveys were administered to the participants in the study. The Numeric Rating Scale NRS and the Brief Pain Inventory BPI were used to assess pain intensity. Pain intensity is defined as mild 1-3, moderate 4-6, or severe 7-10. Results: The prevalence of pain was found to be 68.5 among the 762 people included in the study. The average NRS was found to be 6.332.24. Among the patients with pain, 60 11.7 had mild pain, 210 41 had moderate pain, and 242 47.3 had severe pain. A significant difference was found in between in the presence of pain according to gender p0.034. A moderate positive correlation was found between the worst pain intensity in the last 24 h and the least pain intensity in the last 24 h r0.401, p0.001 and the average pain intensity in the last 24 h r0.629, p0.001. Conclusion: Pain prevalence and pain intensity were high in a university hospital in western Türkiye. Timely and appropriate treatments for pain management can prevent the development of complications and improve the quality of life of patients.

 Amaç: Beşinci vital bulgu olarak adlandırılan ağrı aynı zaman da bir yaşam kalitesi göstergesi olarak bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiyenin batısında bir üniversite hastanesinde yatan erişkin hastalarda ağrı prevalansı ve ilişkili faktörlerini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Etik komite onayı alındıktan sonra hazırlanan bu cross-sectional çalışmada dahil edilme kriterlerine uygun hospitalize hastalar 01-31 Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında yüzyüze anket yöntemi kullanılarak ağrı prevalansı ve ilişkili faktörler sorgulandı. Araştırmaya katılanlara sosyodemografik veri anketleri uygulanmıştır. Ağrı yoğunluğunu değerlendirmek için Sayısal Derecelendirme Ölçeği NRS ve Kısa Ağrı Envanteri BPI kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 762 kişinin ağrı prevelansı 68.5 olarak tespit edilmiştir. NRS ortalaması 6.332.24 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ağrısı olan hastaların 60ında 11.7 hafif, 210unda 41 orta, 242sinde 47.3 şiddetli ağrı vardı. Cinsiyete göre ağrı varlığı arasında anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir p0.034. Son 24 saat en kötü ağrı şiddeti ile son 24 saat en hafif ağrı şiddeti r0.401, p0.001 ve son 24 saatteki ortalama ağrı şiddeti r0.629, p0.001 arasında pozitif yönde orta dereceli korelasyon ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Ağrı prevelansı ve ağrı yoğunluğu Türkiyenin batısında bulunan bir üniversite hastanesinde yüksek tespit edilmiştir. Ağrı yönetimindeki zamanında uygun tedaviler komplikasyon gelişimini önleyebilir ve hasta yaşam kalitesini artırabilir.
