Özet:

 Objective: Pain is a major obstacle for people to perform their daily duties and a condition deteriorating the quality of life. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of pain on anxiety levels. Materials and Methods: The study included patients who had thoracic trauma or thoracic surgery between January 01, 2023, and July 01, 2023, and their relatives who stayed with them as primary attendants. Demographic data from all volunteers included in the study were collected, and a visual analog scale VAS was administered to trauma patients on the first day after trauma and to surgical patients on postoperative day 1. The Beck Anxiety Inventory BAI was administered to both patients and their attendants, and anxiety scores were determined. The anxiety levels were categorized as mild, moderate, and severe anxiety. Results: A total of 174 patients and 174 primary attendants were enrolled in the study. The mean VAS scores of the patients were 6.06 for males and 6.56 for females. A statistically significant relationship was observed between the VAS and BAI scores of the patients. There was also a significant relationship between the patients and their attendants regarding BAI scores. Conclusion: Pain in patients can cause anxiety, although not severe, for both patients and their caregivers.

 Amaç: Ağrı, insanların günlük görevlerini yerine getirmelerinin önünde büyük bir engel ve yaşam kalitelerini bozan bir durumdur. Ağrının kaygı düzeyleri üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 01.01.2023-01.07.2023 tarihleri arasında göğüs travması veya göğüs cerrahisi geçiren hastalar ve yanında kalan yakınları birincil refakatçi olarak dahil edildi. Çalışmaya dahil edilen tüm gönüllülerden demografik veriler toplandı ve travma sonrası ilk gün travma hastalarına ve ameliyat sonrası 1. gün cerrahi hastalara görsel analog skala VAS uygulandı. Hem hastalara hem de refakatçilerine Beck Anksiyete Envanteri BAÖ uygulandı ve anksiyete puanları belirlendi. Kaygı düzeylerini hafif, orta, şiddetli kaygı olarak sınıflandırdık. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 174 hasta ve 174 primer refakatçi dahil edildi. Hastaların VAS skor ortalamaları erkeklerde 6.06, kadınlarda 6.56 idi. Hastaların VAS ile BAÖ skorları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu gözlemlendi. Hastalar ile yakınları arasında da BAÖ skorları açısından anlamlı bir ilişki mevcuttu. Sonuç: Hastalarda ağrı hem hastalar hem de bakım verenler için şiddetli olmasa da anksiyeteye neden olabilir.
