Patients' Perceptions of Postoperative Analgesic Monitoring in Elective General Surgery

NCT07389330 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 300

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study examines how patients perceive postoperative analgesic monitoring during routine care in elective general surgery. Postoperative pain monitoring is a standard nursing practice, but patients may experience it as either supportive or stressful. These perceptions may influence patients' trust in nursing care, anxiety related to monitoring, and willingness to report pain accurately.

The study uses a mixed-methods observational design. In the quantitative phase, patients complete questionnaires about their experiences with pain monitoring, communication with nurses, trust, anxiety, and pain reporting during the first days after surgery. In the qualitative phase, selected patients participate in interviews to further explain and contextualize the survey findings. No changes are made to standard care, and no experimental treatments are used.
