<p>UVOD. Bilijarna kalkuloza je najče&scaron;će oboljenje hepatobilijarnog sistema, a holecistektomija predstavlja jedan od najče&scaron;će izvođenih operativnih zahvata. Laparoskopska holecistektomija je danas zlatni standard lečenja holelitijaze. Laparoskopska holecistektomija je pokazala pobolj&scaron;anje u klinički značajnim ishodima kao &scaron;to su skraćenje operativnog vremena, kraća hospitalizacija, smanjenje jačine i trajanja postoperativnog bola i brži povratak dnevnim i radnim aktivnostima. Postoperativna bol i vreme potpunog oporavka ostaju dva glavna problema posle nekomplikovane laparoskopske holecistektomije koje bi trebalo pobolj&scaron;ati. Bol koji je povezan sa laparoskopskom holecistektomijom je kompleksan i multifaktorijalan. On nastaje o&scaron;tećenjem tkiva, disekcijom i uklanjanjem žučne kesice iz svoje lože, stimulacijom periportalnih nerava, iritacijom dijafragme, mehaničkim i hemijskim interakcijama gasa i pneumoperitoneuma, incizijama portova. Istraživanja su označila parijetalni i visceralni bol kao dva glavna mehanizma nastanka bola kod laparoskopske holecistektomije. Bol se ne može meriti nego proceniti jer je subjektivni osećaj. Pokazalo se potrebnim da se na čvr&scaron;ćim naučnim osnovama da odgovor na pitanje da li je moguće blokirati parijetalni i visceralni bol posle laparoskopske holecistektomije u akutnoj fazi. CILJEVI. Cilj studije je da uporedi standardnu analgeziju (ne-opioidnu) (grupa O) sa davanjem parijetalne blokade (grupa P), ili davanjem visceralne blokade (grupa V), ili sa obe date blokade (grupa P+V). Primarni ishodi studije su bolesnikov procenjeni bol pre operacije i posle operacije na 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 sati i 7. dana. Sekundarni ishodi studije su bolesnikova procenjena mučnina na 1,2,4,6,12 sati i bolesnikova procenjena mobilnost 1. 2. i 7. dan. HIPOTEZA. Blokada postoperativnog visceralnog bola i blokada postoperativnog parijetalnog bola posle laparoskopske holecistektomije putem intraperitonealne lokalne infiltracije anestetikom i putem lokalne infiltracije anestetikom pristupnih laparoskopskih portova može značajno smanjiti rani postoperativni bol. MATERIJAL I METODE. Ova prospektivna, randomizirana jednostruko slepa studija je započela septembra 2014. godine i trajala je do januara 2016. godine. Istraživanje je sprovedeno na Klinici za abdominalnu, endokrinu i transplantacionu hirurgiju i Urgentnom centru Kliničkog centra Vojvodine u Novom Sadu kod bolesnika operisanih metodom laparoskopske holecistektomije. Rad je podeljen u nekoliko celina. 1. Procena veličine uzorka; 2. Procena podobnosti za studiju; 3. Anketiranje i uključivanje u studiju; 4. Razvrstavanje u grupe i operativni rad; 5. Period postoperativnog praćenja; 6. Statistička obrada i pisanje rada.<br />1. Procena veličine uzorka. Studija je realizovana podelom bolesnika u 4 grupe. Neophodni broj bolesnika je izračunat uzimajući podatke iz pilot istraživanja slične studije iz 2012. godine. Veličina uzorka je računata za primarni ishod studije&nbsp; (bolesnikov procenjen bol sa NAS) na pretpostavci da treba biti 20% smanjenja bola u prvom postoperativnom satu, uz verovatnoću Tip 1 gre&scaron;ke &alpha;=0.05 i Tipa 2 gre&scaron;ke &beta;=0.10 da postigne adekvatnu statističku snagu oko 80% i da otkrije 20% razlike u srednjoj vrednosti procenjenog bola jedan sat nakon laparoskopske&nbsp; holecistektomije. Procenjeni broj ispitanika po grupama prema zadatim kriterijumima je bio (P+V=65; P=68; V=68; O=65). Studija je započela uključivanjem prvog bolesnika u studiju a zavr&scaron;ena ispunjenim periodom praćenja sve dok poslednji bolesnik nije doneo upitnike o bolu, mučnini i kretanju. 2. Procena podobnosti za studiju. U periodu studije ukupan broj holecistektomiranih bolesnika je bio 1024 (440 klasično i 584 laparoskopski). Samo pogodni bolesnici su anketirani (584) i pročitali su informacioni list o istraživanju. Uključivanje ili procena podobnosti bolesnika za studiju sprovedena je na osnovu uključnih i isključnih kriterijuma. U studiju nije uključeno ukupno 226 bolesnika. Od tog broja 82 bolesnika je odbilo učestvovati u studiji a 144 bolesnika nije ispunilo uključne postavljene kriterijume. Svojim potpisom potvrdilo je uče&scaron;će u studiji 358 bolesnika. 3. Anketiranje i uključivanje u studiju. Nakon prijema bolesnika u bolnicu ispitivači su uzimali anamnezu i bolesnicima je ponuđen informacioni list i informisani pristanak. Nakon čitanja informacije, potpisivanja informisanog pristanka i zadovoljavanja&nbsp; uključnih i isključnih kriterijuma 358 bolesnika je uključeno u studiju. Obavljena je preoperativna priprema i ispitivači su popunili deo podataka u individualnom listu. 4. Razvrstavanje u grupe i operativni rad. Neposredno preoperativno od strane nezavisne osobe neuključene u studiju napravljena je randomizacija izabranih (n=358) u studijske grupe tablicama slučajnog izbora, tako da bolesnici nisu znali kojoj grupi pripadaju, dok su operater i osoblje to znali na početku operacije (jednostruko slepa studija). Nakon randomizacije i operacije bolesnici pripadaju jednoj od sledeće 4 grupe: Kontrolna grupa O=89, u kojoj su bolesnici sa urađenom laparoskopskom&nbsp; holecistektomijom bez visceralne blokade anestetikom i bez parijetalne blokade anestetikom. Eksperimentalna grupa P=88, u kojoj su bolesnici sa urađenom laparoskopskom holecistektomijom bez visceralne blokade anestetikom i sa parijetalnom blokadom anestetikom. Eksperimentalna grupa V=92, u kojoj su bolesnici sa urađenom laparoskopskom holecistektomijom sa visceralnom blokadom anestetikom i bez parijetalne blokade anestetikom. Eksperimentalna grupa P+V=89, u kojoj će biti bolesnici sa urađenom laparoskopskom holecistektomijom sa visceralnom blokadom anestetikom i sa parijetalnom blokadom anestetikom. Primenjivan je uobičajni, standardni protokol anestezije za laparoskopske operacije kod svih ispitanika. Svim bolesnicima plasirana je orogastrična sonda koja se nakon operacije odstranjivala. Kod&nbsp; bolesnika kod kojih je primenjivan lokalni anestetik neposredno pre početka operacije pravio se rastvor lokalnog anestetika (Marcaine&reg; 0,25%). Bolesnici su otpu&scaron;teni sa bolničkog lečenja prvog postoperativnog dana, pod uslovom da nisu imali komplikacija. 5. Postoperativno praćenje i ispunjavanje upitnika. Po dolasku na odeljenje&nbsp; bolesnicima je odmah uključivana ista analgezija. Tokom ispunjavanja informisanog pristanka, bolesnici su dobili upitnik na kojoj će sami procenjivati nivo bola, mučnine i kretanja tokom ležanja u bolnici i vremena praćenja od 7 dana kući. Bolesnici su dolazili na unapred zakazane postoperativne kontrole 7 do 10 dana posle operacije i donosili ispunjene upitnike. Otpu&scaron;teno je i za praćenje ostalo n=302 laparoskopski operisanih bolesnika a isključeno iz studije n=20 bolesnika. 6. Statistička obrada i pisanje rada. Ukupno je analizirano 274 listića operisanih bolesnika: u Grupi P+V =67; u Grupi P =70; u Grupi V =70 i u Grupi O =67. Od osnovnih deskriptivnih statističkih parametara za kvalitativnu i kvantitativnu procenu dobijenih rezultata su kori&scaron;ćeni apsolutni brojevi, relativni brojevi, mediana, mod, aritmetička sredina i standardna devijacija (SD). Obrada podataka se vr&scaron;ila&nbsp; osnovnim i naprednim statističkim metodama i programima. Rezultati su prikazani tabelarno i grafički. REZULTATI. Demografski podaci. Ukupno je bilo 188 žena i 86 mu&scaron;karaca, u odnosu 2,2 : 1. Prosečna starost cele grupe je bila 52,1 &plusmn; 15,72 godine. Ukupno je bilo 179 zaposlenih i 95 nezaposlenih.

Prosečna ocena zadovoljstva bolesnika posle operacije u celoj grupi je bila 8,80 (mediana=9; mod=10). Najbolju ocenu zadovoljstva bolesnika posle operacije je imala grupa P+V. Procena bola, mučnine i kretanja. Postoji statistički značajna razlika između posmatranih grupa u proceni jačine bola pre operacije (p=0,003). Postoji statistički značajna razlika između posmatranih grupa u proceni jačine bola 1h posle operacije (najbolju procenu bola je imala grupa P+V); u proceni jačine bola 2h posle operacije (najbolju procenu bola je imala grupa P+V); u proceni jačine bola 4h posle operacije (najbolju procenu bola je imala grupa P); u proceni jačine bola 6h posle operacije (najbolju procenu bola je imala grupa P+V); u proceni jačine bola 12h posle operacije (najbolju procenu bola je imala grupa P+V); u proceni jačine bola 24h posle operacije (najbolju procenu bola je imala grupa P+V); u proceni jačine bola 48h posle operacije (najbolju procenu bola je imala grupa P) i u proceni jačine bola 7 dana posle operacije (najbolju procenu bola je imala grupa P). Procenjena bol se pojačava otprilike 2,5 sata posle operacije sa vrhom 3 sata posle operacije, a smanjuje se na istu vrednost kao 2. sata posle operacije, otprilike 5. sata posle operacije. U vremenskim intervalima 1, 2. i 7. postoperativni dan postoji značajno pobolj&scaron;anje u postoperativnoj mobilnosti bolesnika.

ZAKLJUČCI: Primena lokalnog anestetika datog na bilo koji način značajno smanjuje bol posle laparoskopske holecistektomije. Primena lokalnog anestetika datog i&nbsp; portalno i visceralno (P+V) značajno smanjuje bol u odnosu na samo portalnu (P) ili visceralnu (V) primenu u vremenskim intervalima 2, 6, 12 sat posle laparoskopske holecistektomije. Portalna (P) primena sa ili bez visceralne (V) primene lokalnog anestetika značajno smanjuje bol u vremenskim intervalima 1, 4, 24, 48 sati i 7 dana posle laparoskopske holecistektomije. Najbolje kretanje je bilo u grupi P+V posle laparoskopske holecistektomije. Najbolje smanjenje procenjene mučnine je bilo u grupi P posle laparoskopske holecistektomije. Najraniji povratak uobičajenim aktivnostima zabeležen je u grupi P+V. Najbolja ocena zadovoljstva bolesnika hirur&scaron;kim lečenjem bila je u grupi P+V. Postoperativna bol ima najznačajniju pozitivnu korelaciju sa procenjenom mučninom i brojem tableta uzetih od momenta otpusta do prve kontrole bolesnika.</p> / <p>INTRODUCTION: Biliary calculosis is the most frequent disease of the hepatobiliary system, and cholecystectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures. Today laparoscopic cholecystectomy represents the golden standard in treating cholelithiasis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy showed improvement in the clinically significant outcomes, such as: reducing the duration of the surgery, shorter hospital stay, reducing the intensity and duration of postoperative pain and faster return to normal daily and working activities. Postoperative pain and the time of full recovery remain the two major problems after a non-complicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy and they should be improved. The pain related to laparoscopic cholecystectomy is complex and multi-factorial in origin. The pain occurs due to damaged tissues, dissection and removal of gallbladder from its cavity, stimulation of periportal nerves, irritation of the diaphragm, mechanical and chemical interaction of gases and pneumoperitoneum and port incisions. Researches have denoted parietal and visceral pains as two major mechanisms in occurrence of pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Pain cannot be measured, but estimated, as it is a subjective feeling. It was considered necessary to find the answer, based on solid scientific evidence, if it was possible to block parietal and visceral pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in its acute phase. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to compare standard, non-opioid, analgesia (group O) with applying parietal blockade (group P), or visceral blockade (group V), or compare with both applied blockades (group P+V). The primary outcomes of the study are the patient&acute;s estimated pain before surgery and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours and 7th day after the surgery. The secondary outcomes of this study are the patient&acute;s estimated nausea level during 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 hours, along with the patient&acute;s estimated mobility 1st, 2nd and 7th day, postoperatively. HYPOTHESIS. Blockade of postoperative visceral pain and blockade of postoperative parietal pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, applying intraperitoneal local infiltration with anesthetic and also by local infiltration with anesthetic through accessible laparoscopic ports, can significantly reduce early postoperative pain. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospectively randomized single-blinded study started in September 2014 and lasted up to January 2016. The research was carried out at the Clinic for Abdominal, Endocrine and Transplantation Surgery and Emergency Center, Clinical Center of Vojvodina in Novi Sad and it involved patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study has been divided into several units. 1. Assessment of sample size; 2. Assessment of eligibility for the study; 3. Survey and inclusion in the study; 4. Group formation and operational work; 5. Period of postoperative follow-up; 6. Statistical processing and writing the paper.1. Assessment of sample size. The study was realized by dividing the patients into 4 groups. The number of patients necessary was determined based on the data taken as pilot study from a similar study from 2012. Sample size was calculated for the primary outcome of the study (patient&acute;s estimated pain with NAS) based on the assumption that a pain reduction of 20% should occur during the first postoperative hour, with the probability of Type 1 error &alpha;=0.05 and Type 2 error &beta;=0.10 to reach the adequate statistical power of about 80%, and to reveal 20% difference in the average value of the estimated pain one hour after the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The assessed number of respondents in groups according to the set criteria was (P+V =65;P =68;V =68; O =65). The study started when the first patient was included and it ended with the complete follow-up period when the last patient handed in the survey about pain, nausea and mobility. 2. Assessment of eligibility for the study. During the study the number of patients undergoing surgery applying the method of cholecystectomy was 1024 (440 classical and 584 laparoscopic). Only the suitable patients were surveyed (584) and given to read the information leaflet about the study. Inclusion and assessment of patients&acute; eligibility was performed on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 226 patients was not included in the study. Out of that number 82 patients refused to participate in the study and 144 did not fulfill the inclusive criteria set. By signing 358 patients confirmed their participation in the study. 3. Survey and inclusion in the study. After admitting the patients to hospital the surveyors took their anamnesis and the patients were offered an information leaflet and informed consent. Following the reading of the information leaflet, signing the informed consent and satisfying the criteria for inclusion and exclusion, 358 patients were included in the study. Preoperative preparations were performed and the surveyors filled in some of the data on the individual list. 4. Group formation and operational work. Prior to the surgery an independent person not included in the study carried out the randomisation of the patients chosen (n=358) into study groups by random selection tables. The patients did not know which group they belonged to, while it became known to the surgeon and the operation stuff at the beginning of the surgery (singleblinded study). After randomization and surgery the patients belonged to one of the following groups: Control group O=89 of patients with performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy without visceral blockade by anesthetic and without parietal blockade by anesthetic. Experimental group P=88 of patients with performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy without visceral blockade by anesthetic but with parietal blockade by anesthetic. Experimental group V=92 of patients with performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy with visceral blockade by anesthetic but without parietal blockade by anesthetic. Experimental group P+V=89 of patients with performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy with visceral blockade by anesthetic and with parietal blockade by anesthetic. The standard protocol of anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy was applied to all patients. An orogastric tube used during the surgery, was removed after it. In patients with applied local anesthetic immediately before surgery a solution of local anesthetic was made (Marcaine&reg; 0,25%). The patients were discharged from hospital the first postoperative day, provided that no complications occurred. 5. Postoperative follow-up and completing the questionnaire. When admitted to the ward the patients were given the same kind of analgesia. While completing the informed consent the patients were given a questionnaire for estimating their pain level, nausea and mobility during their stay in hospital and during the 7-day follow-up period at home. The patients were required to come for 7 and 10-day postoperative check-ups by appointment and then they handed in the questionnaires. n=302 patients with performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy were released and designated for follow-up, and n=20 patients were excluded from the study. 6. Statistical processing and writing the paper. In total 274 operated patients&acute; slips were analysed, by groups as follows: in Group P+V =67; in Group P =70; in Group V =70 and in Group O =67. From the basic descriptive statistical parametres for qualitative and quantitative assessment of results obtained, absolute numbers, relative numbers, the median, mode, arithmetic mean and standard deviation (SD) were used. Data processing was carried out using basic and advanced statistical methods and programmes. The results are presented in tabular and graphical manner. RESULTS. Demographic data. In total there were 188 women and 86 men, in proportion 2,2 : 1. The average age of the whole group was 52,1 &plusmn; 15,72 years. In total there were 179 employed and 95 unemployed persons. In total there were 45 surveyed patients with primary education, 153 surveyed patients with secondary education and 76 surveyed patients with higher education. In total there were 186 nonsmokers and 88 smokers. The mean BMI value of the whole group was 27,24 &plusmn; 4,21 kg/m2. The mean value of ASA of the whole group was 2,03 (the median=2, mode=2). There is no significant difference among the groups observed considering the observed parametres. Laboratory data. There is a statistically significant difference in the value of leukocytes among the observed groups (p=0,039), and in the value of urea among the observed groups (p=0,040). There is no statistically significant difference in the value of the erythrocyte, platelets, hemoglobin, blood glucose, creatinine and bilirubin of the&nbsp; observed groups. Operative and postoperative data. There is no statistically significant difference in the amount of Fentanyl&reg; applied among the observed groups. There is statistically significant difference in the length of the surgery among the observed groups (p=0,003), in the duration of the positioning of abdominal drainage among the observed groups (p=0,024), in the duration of hospital stay among the observed groups (p=0,027), in the number of days until getting back to regular activities among the observed groups&nbsp; (p=0,000), in the number of taken pills among the observed groups (p=0,000). The patients&acute; average satisfaction grade after surgery in the whole group was 8,80 (the median=9; mode=10). Group P+V had the best patient&lsquo;s satisfaction grade after the surgery. Assessment of pain, nausea and mobility. There is statistically significant difference in the estimation of pain intensity before surgery among the observed groups (p=0,003). There is statistically significant difference in the estimation of pain intensity 1 hour after surgery among the observed groups (P+V having the best estimated pain); in the estimation of pain intensity 2 hours after&nbsp; surgery (P+V having the best estimated pain); in the estimation of pain intensity 4 hours after surgery (P having the best estimated pain); in the estimation of pain intensity 6 hours after surgery (P+V having the best estimated pain); in the estimation of pain intensity 12 hours after surgery (P+V having the best estimated pain); in the estimation of pain intensity 24 hours after surgery (P+V having the best estimated pain); in the estimation of pain intensity 48 hours after surgery (P having the best estimated pain) also in the estimation of pain intensity 7 days after surgery (P having the best estimated pain). The estimated pain intensifies at about 2,5 hours after surgery and peaks 3 hours after surgery, and decreases to the same level as it was during 2nd hour after surgery approximately during 5th hour after surgery. There is considerable improvement in mobility of patients in the time interval 1st, 2nd and 7th postoperative days. There is considerable improvement in estimated nausea level of patients in the time interval 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12 hours. Correlations. Statistically significant positive correlation in estimated pain after 1st hour, after 2nd hour, after 6th hour and after 12th hour was determined by the number of tablets taken (p=0,000), just like the estimated nausea level (p=0,000). Statistically significant positive correlation in estimated pain after 4th hour was determined by the number of tablets taken (p=0,006), just like the activities (p=0,014). Statistically significant positive correlation in estimated pain after 24th hour was determined by the number of tablets taken (p=0,000; positive), and by the duration of the surgery (p=0,028; negative). Statistically significant positive correlation in estimated pain after 48th hour and after 7 days was determined by the number of tablets taken (p=0,000). CONCLUSIONS: The application of local anesthetic, regardless of how it was applied, considerably reduces pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The application of local anesthetic by port or viscerally (P+V) considerably reduces pain compared to only by port (P) or only visceral (V) application in the time intervals of 2, 6, and 12 hours after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The application of local anesthetic by port (P), with or without visceral (V), considerably reduces pain in the time intervals of 1, 4, 24, and 48 hours and 7 days after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The best mobility was shown by group P+V after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Estimated nausea was most reduced in group P after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Group P+V presented the earliest return to regular activities. The best patients&acute; satisfaction grade with surgical treatment was shown by group P+V. Postoperative pain is most considerably positively correlated with the estimated nausea and pills taken, from the moment of patient&acute;s release from hospital to the first check-up.<br />&nbsp;</p>

Introduction : Il a été démontré que les enfants opérés pour une amygdalectomie éprouvaient des niveaux de douleur modérée à sévère, et ce pendant plusieurs jours suite à la chirurgie. Suite au retour à domicile, plusieurs parents ont tendance à administrer l’analgésie de façon non-optimale à leur enfant et ce pour diverses raisons, ce qui contribue au maintien de niveaux de douleur élevés et à l’incidence de complications postopératoires. But : Cette étude avait pour but d’évaluer l’effet d'un suivi infirmier téléphonique, effectué auprès de parents d'enfants opérés pour une amygdalectomie, sur la gestion de la douleur et la prévention de complications postopératoires. Méthode : Cette étude clinique randomisée a comparé un groupe expérimental (suivi infirmier téléphonique) à un groupe contrôle (traitement standard) (n = 52). Le suivi infirmier téléphonique fut effectué au 1er, 3e, 5e et 10e jour postopératoire et permettait d’évaluer l’évolution du client et d’offrir un enseignement personnalisé selon un cadre prédéfini. Les critères d’évaluation furent l’intensité de la douleur, la quantité d’analgésie administrée à l’enfant, les complications postopératoires et le recours à des services de santé non-planifiés. Résultats : Les enfants du groupe expérimental ont présenté une intensité de douleur plus faible au 3e jour postopératoire, le matin (P= 0.041) et le soir (P= 0.010). Les enfants de ce groupe ont reçu davantage de doses d’analgésiques au 1er jour postopératoire (P= 0.007) et au 5e jour postopératoire (P= 0.043). Ils ont eu moins de vomissements au congé de l’hôpital (P= 0.040) et au 3e jour postopératoire (P= 0.042), moins de somnolence au 1er jour postopératoire (P= 0.041), une meilleure hydratation au 1er (P= 0.014) et 3e jour postopératoire (P= 0.019), mais ont souffert davantage de constipation au 3e jour postopératoire (P< 0.001). Aucune différence significative n’a été observée quant au recours à des services de santé. Conclusion : Le suivi infirmier téléphonique, effectué auprès de parents d'enfants opérés pour une amygdalectomie, a certains effets bénéfiques sur la gestion de la douleur et la prévention de complications postopératoires, mais n’a pas eu d’effet significatif sur le recours à des services de santé. / Background: After tonsillectomy, children experience moderate to severe pain for several days. Following discharge from the hospital, many parents give insufficient analgesia to their child, based on numerous misguided beliefs. This contributes to more pain and an increase of postoperative complications. Aim: Evaluation of the efficacy of a nurse telephone follow-up with parents of children who underwent tonsillectomy, on pain intensity, occurrence of postoperative complications and frequency of resort to other health services. Methods: This randomised clinical trial compared an intervention group (nurse telephone follow-up) with a control group (standard care, without follow-up) (n=52). Nurse telephone follow-up was made on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 10th postoperative day and included advice and explanation regarding problems experienced by parents, using an algorithm of interventions. Outcomes evaluated were pain intensity, frequency of analgesics administered to the child, occurrence of postoperative complications and resort to health services. Data was collected at hospital discharge, and on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 10th postoperative days (POD). Results: Children in the experimental group had lower pain intensity scores after medication than the control group in the morning (P= 0.041) and evening (P= 0.010) of POD 3. Children in the nurse follow-up group received more doses of analgesics on POD 1 (P= 0.007) and POD 5 (P= 0.043). Significant differences were observed, in favour of the nurse follow-up group, regarding vomiting at POD 0 (P= 0.040) and POD 3 (P= 0.042), dizziness at POD 1(P= 0.041), and fluid intake at POD 1(P= 0.014) and POD 3 (P= 0.019) - although, constipation was more frequent in the nurse follow-up group at POD 3 (P< 0.001). There was no significant difference, between both groups, regarding resort to other health services. Conclusion: Nurse telephone follow-up with parents of children who underwent tonsillectomy was beneficial for some aspects of pain management and occurrence of some postoperative complications, but did not decrease resort to other health services.

Les arthroplasties totales de la hanche (ATH) et du genou (ATG) sont souvent offertes aux patients atteints de dégénérescence articulaire sévère. Bien qu’efficace chez la majorité des patients, ces interventions mènent à des résultats sous-optimaux dans de nombreux cas. Il demeure difficile d’identifier les patients à risque de résultats sous-optimaux à l’heure actuelle. L’identification de ces patients avant la chirurgie pourrait permettre d’optimiser la gamme de soins et de services offerts et de possiblement améliorer les résultats de leur chirurgie. Ce mémoire a comme objectifs : 1) de réaliser une revue systématique des déterminants associés à la douleur et aux incapacités fonctionnelles rapportées par les patients à moyen-terme suivant ces deux types d’arthroplastie et 2) de développer des modèles de prédiction clinique permettant l’identification des patients à risque de mauvais résultats en terme de douleur et d’incapacités fonctionnelles suivant l’ATH et l’ATG. Une revue systématique de la littérature identifiant les déterminants de la douleur et de la fonction suivant l’ATH et l’ATG a été réalisée dans quatre bases de données jusqu’en avril 2015 et octobre 2014, respectivement. Afin de développer un algorithme de prédiction pouvant identifier les patients à risque de résultats sous-optimaux, nous avons aussi utilisé des données rétrospectives provenant de 265 patients ayant subi une ATH à l’Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont (HMR) de 2004 à 2010. Finalement, des données prospectives sur 141 patients recrutés au moment de leur inclusion sur une liste d’attente pour une ATG dans trois hôpitaux universitaires à Québec, Canada et suivis jusqu’à six mois après la chirurgie ont permis l’élaboration d’une règle de prédiction clinique permettant l’identification des patients à risque de mauvais résultats en terme de douleur et d’incapacités fonctionnelles. Vingt-deux (22) études d’une qualité méthodologique moyenne à excellente ont été incluses dans la revue. Les principaux déterminants de douleur et d’incapacités fonctionnelles après l’ATH incluaient: le niveau préopératoire de douleur et de fonction, un indice de la masse corporelle plus élevé, des comorbidités médicales plus importantes, un état de santé générale diminué, une scolarité plus faible, une arthrose radiographique moins sévère et la présence d’arthrose à la hanche controlatérale. Trente-quatre (34) études évaluant les déterminants de douleur et d’incapacités fonctionnelles après l’ATG avec une qualité méthodologique moyenne à excellente ont été évaluées et les déterminants suivant ont été identifiés: le niveau préopératoire de douleur et de fonction, des comorbidités médicales plus importantes, un état de santé générale diminué, un plus grands niveau d’anxiété et/ou de symptômes dépressifs, la présence de douleur au dos, plus de pensées catastrophiques ou un faible niveau socioéconomique. Pour la création d’une règle de prédiction clinique, un algorithme préliminaire composé de l’âge, du sexe, de l’indice de masse corporelle ainsi que de trois questions du WOMAC préopératoire a permis l’identification des patients à risque de résultats chirurgicaux sous-optimaux (pire quartile du WOMAC postopératoire et percevant leur hanche opérée comme artificielle avec des limitations fonctionnelles mineures ou majeures) à une durée moyenne ±écart type de 446±171 jours après une ATH avec une sensibilité de 75.0% (95% IC: 59.8 – 85.8), une spécificité de 77.8% (95% IC: 71.9 – 82.7) et un rapport de vraisemblance positif de 3.38 (98% IC: 2.49 – 4.57). Une règle de prédiction clinique formée de cinq items du questionnaire WOMAC préopratoire a permis l’identification des patients en attente d’une ATG à risque de mauvais résultats (pire quintile du WOMAC postopératoire) six mois après l’ATG avec une sensibilité de 82.1 % (95% IC: 66.7 – 95.8), une spécificité de 71.7% (95% IC: 62.8 – 79.8) et un rapport de vraisemblance positif de 2.9 (95% IC: 1.8 – 4.7). Les résultats de ce mémoire ont permis d’identifier, à partir de la littérature, une liste de déterminants de douleur et d’incapacités fonctionnelles après l’ATH et l’ATG avec le plus haut niveau d’évidence à ce jour. De plus, deux modèles de prédiction avec de très bonnes capacités prédictives ont été développés afin d’identifier les patients à risque de mauvais résultats chirurgicaux après l’ATH et l’ATG. L’identification de ces patients avant la chirurgie pourrait permettre d’optimiser leur prise en charge et de possiblement améliorer les résultats de leur chirurgie. / Total joint arthroplasties (TJA) are commonly performed procedures for patients afflicted with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA), and although successful, these surgeries can yield suboptimal results in a non-negligible proportion of patients. In order to improve surgical outcomes, patients at risk of poor results could be targeted with focused interventions. However, the evidence regarding the ability to identify which patients are at risk of poor outcomes is scarce. The objectives of this memoir were 1) to systematically review the literature of preoperative determinants of medium-term patient-reported pain and physical function after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and 2) to develop clinical prediction models allowing the individual identification of patients at risk of poor outcomes following THA and TKA. Systematic literature searches targeting studies evaluating all studied determinants of pain and function following THA and TKA were performed in four important databases until April 2015 and October 2014 respectively. Moreover, retrospective data from 265 patients having undergone THA at the Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont from 2004 to 2010 was used to develop a preliminary prediction algorithm (PA) to identify patients at risk of poor surgical results. Finally, prospective data from 141 patients recruited at their inclusion on a preoperative waitlist for TKA in three hospitals in Québec City, Canada and followed 6 months postoperatively was used to develop a clinical prediction rule (CPR) to identify patients at risk of poor outcomes Twenty-two (22) studies evaluating determinants of poor pain and function after THA with moderate-to-excellent methodological quality found that preoperative levels of pain and function, higher body mass index (BMI), greater medical comorbidities, worse general health, lower education level, lower OA radiographic severity and contralateral hip OA were consistently associated with poor THA outcomes. Thirty-four (34) studies evaluating determinants of poor pain and function after TKA with moderate-to-excellent methodological quality identified preoperative levels of pain and function, greater medical comorbidity, lower general health, greater levels of depression and/or anxiety, presence of back pain, greater pain catastrophizing and greater socioeconomic deprivation as consistently associated with worse outcomes. A preliminary PA consisting of age, gender, BMI and three items of the preoperative Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was able to identify patients at risk of suboptimal outcomes (worst quartile of the postoperative WOMAC score and perceiving their operated hip as artificial with minor or major limitations) on an average±standard deviation (SD) of 446±171 days after THA with a sensitivity of 75.0% (95% CI: 59.8 – 85.8), a specificity of 77.8% (95% CI: 71.9 – 82.7) and a positive likelihood ratio of 3.38 (98% CI: 2.49 – 4.57). A CPR consisting of five items of the preoperative WOMAC was able to predict the identity of patients awaiting TKA at the highest risk of poor outcomes (worst quintile of the postoperative WOMAC score) six months postoperatively with a sensitivity of 82.1 % (95% CI: 66.7 – 95.8), a specificity of 71.7% (95% CI: 62.8 – 79.8) and a positive likelihood ratio of 2.9 (95% CI: 1.8 – 4.7). This memoir led to the identification of a list of determinants of pain and disability following TKA and THA with the highest level of evidence to date. Moreover, two clinical prediction models with good predictive capabilities were developed in order to allow the identification of patients at risk of poor outcomes following TKA and THA. These findings could help target the patients most likely to benefit from interventions aimed at diminishing their risk profile and improving surgical outcomes of hip or knee arthroplasties. External validation of these rules is warranted before clinical implementation.

Introdução: A administração de morfina através de bomba de infusão controlada pelo paciente (ACP) no tratamento da dor pós-cirurgica e traumática tem-se mostrado promissora e faz parte da rotina terapêutica de muitos hospitais. No entanto, doses altas ou repetidas deste opióide estão associadas a efeitos adversos dose dependentes, dentre eles, a depressão respiratória. No caso de pacientes submetidos a cirurgias de tórax, além da analgesia pós-operatória, devem também ser considerados como parâmetros relevantes a anestesia regional (intratecal) no intra-operatório, a qual pode contribuir para melhora da função pulmonar pós-operatória e extubação precoce no pós-operatório e a circulação extracorpórea (CEC), potencial fator de alteração na cinética de fármacos. Objetivos: Investigar a influência da morfina intratecal e da circulação extracorpórea (CEC) sobre o consumo de morfina ACP, área sob a curva e escores de dor no período pós-operatório, bem como propor modelo farmacocinético-farmacodinâmico (PK-PD) para correlação dessas variáveis. Adicionalmente, foi desenvolvido método analítico para quantificação da morfina plasmática. Métodos: 59 pacientes submetidos à cirurgia eletiva de revascularização com CEC e sem CEC, na presença ou não de morfina intratecal intra-operatória foram distribuídos em grupos com base na combinação das intervenções acima mencionadas. No período pós-operatório, todos os pacientes receberam bolus IV de 1mg de morfina, e então o dispositivo ACP foi instalado na unidade de terapia intensiva, através de cateter venoso após a extubação orotraqueal. A morfina ACP foi liberada através de livre demanda solicitada pelo paciente (bolus de 1 mg), lock-out de 5 min até 36 horas do pós-operatório. Coletaram-se amostras seriadas de sangue de cateter venoso no período (3,6,12,18,24,36 horas) e a morfina plasmática foi determinada através da cromatografia líquida - espectrometria de massas (LC-MS/MS ESI+) após a purificação das amostras de plasma. A intensidade da dor foi monitorada no mesmo período pela escala análoga visual (EAV). A modelagem PK-PD foi investigada pelo GraphPad Prism 5.0. Resultados: O consumo de morfina e a intensidade da dor diferiram entre os grupos. O modelo do EMAX e a curva de histerese foram propostos pela modelagem PK-PD. Conclusões: O método analítico mostrou-se adequado na determinação da morfina plasmática. O consumo de morfina os escores de dor EAV no pós-operatório diferiram pela comparação dos grupos de pacientes investigados. Menores doses de morfina ACP foram requeridas pelos pacientes que receberam morfina intratecal intra-operatória. Demonstrou-se através do modelo do EMAX correlação não linear entre os parâmetros consumo de morfina e AUC0-36, e curva de histerese foi obtida quando se plotou consumo de morfina versus escore de dor. / Introduction: Morphine administration using patient controlled analgesia (PCA) for treatment of post surgical and traumatic pain has been a current practice in many hospitals. However, large or repeated doses of this opioid are associated to dose dependent adverse events, including, respiratory depression. Considering patients submitted to thoracic surgery, in addition to the postoperatory analgesia, two other relevant parameters must be considered: regional anesthesia (intrathecal) in the intra-operatory period, which should contribute to the respiratory function improvement and decrease in the extubation time; and the cardiopulmonary bypass (OPCAB), that potentially alters the drugs\' kinetics. Objectives: To investigate the influence of intrathecal morphine administration and cardiopulmonary bypass (OPCAB) in the morphine PCA drug requirements, area under the curve of morphine plasma concentration versus time and pain scores in the postoperative period, and to choose a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model to correlate these variables. In addition, an analytical method was developed to quantify morphine in plasma. Methods: 59 patients submitted to elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with (CPB) and without cardiopulmonary bypass (OPCAB), with and without intrathecal morphine in the intra-operative period were distributed by the combination of the above mentioned interventions. In the postoperative period, all the patients were given an IV bolus of 1mg of morphine, and then PCA device was installed in the intensive care unit by a venous catheter after the orotracheal extubation. Morphine PCA was delivered on demand (boluses of 1 mg), lock-out of 5 min until 36 hours of the postoperative period. A serial of blood samples were collected from venous catheter of patients at the postoperative period (3,6,12,18,24,36 hrs) and morphine plasma concentrations were determined by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry ((LC-MS/MS ESI+)) after the purification of plasma samples. Pain scores were monitored during the same period by a visual analogue scale, VAS or 1-2-3 pain scale. PK-PD modeling was investigated by applying the GraphPad Prism 5.0. Results: Drug dose requirements and analgesia were significant different in patients of groups investigated. EMAX model and the hysteresis curve were proposed by PK-PD modeling to correlate drug requirements and AUC 0-36 or VAS. Conclusions: LC-MS/MS (ESI+) method was adequate for drug measurements in plasma. Morphine dose requirements and analgesia were different by comparison of groups. Lower doses of morphine by PCA were required for the groups that have received intrathecal morphine intraoperatively. It was demonstrated a non linear correlation between parameters by EMAX model when drug requirements and AUC0-36 were plotted, and the hysteresis curve was obtained when analgesia dose requirements was plotted against pain score.

Introduction : Il a été démontré que les enfants opérés pour une amygdalectomie éprouvaient des niveaux de douleur modérée à sévère, et ce pendant plusieurs jours suite à la chirurgie. Suite au retour à domicile, plusieurs parents ont tendance à administrer l’analgésie de façon non-optimale à leur enfant et ce pour diverses raisons, ce qui contribue au maintien de niveaux de douleur élevés et à l’incidence de complications postopératoires. But : Cette étude avait pour but d’évaluer l’effet d'un suivi infirmier téléphonique, effectué auprès de parents d'enfants opérés pour une amygdalectomie, sur la gestion de la douleur et la prévention de complications postopératoires. Méthode : Cette étude clinique randomisée a comparé un groupe expérimental (suivi infirmier téléphonique) à un groupe contrôle (traitement standard) (n = 52). Le suivi infirmier téléphonique fut effectué au 1er, 3e, 5e et 10e jour postopératoire et permettait d’évaluer l’évolution du client et d’offrir un enseignement personnalisé selon un cadre prédéfini. Les critères d’évaluation furent l’intensité de la douleur, la quantité d’analgésie administrée à l’enfant, les complications postopératoires et le recours à des services de santé non-planifiés. Résultats : Les enfants du groupe expérimental ont présenté une intensité de douleur plus faible au 3e jour postopératoire, le matin (P= 0.041) et le soir (P= 0.010). Les enfants de ce groupe ont reçu davantage de doses d’analgésiques au 1er jour postopératoire (P= 0.007) et au 5e jour postopératoire (P= 0.043). Ils ont eu moins de vomissements au congé de l’hôpital (P= 0.040) et au 3e jour postopératoire (P= 0.042), moins de somnolence au 1er jour postopératoire (P= 0.041), une meilleure hydratation au 1er (P= 0.014) et 3e jour postopératoire (P= 0.019), mais ont souffert davantage de constipation au 3e jour postopératoire (P< 0.001). Aucune différence significative n’a été observée quant au recours à des services de santé. Conclusion : Le suivi infirmier téléphonique, effectué auprès de parents d'enfants opérés pour une amygdalectomie, a certains effets bénéfiques sur la gestion de la douleur et la prévention de complications postopératoires, mais n’a pas eu d’effet significatif sur le recours à des services de santé. / Background: After tonsillectomy, children experience moderate to severe pain for several days. Following discharge from the hospital, many parents give insufficient analgesia to their child, based on numerous misguided beliefs. This contributes to more pain and an increase of postoperative complications. Aim: Evaluation of the efficacy of a nurse telephone follow-up with parents of children who underwent tonsillectomy, on pain intensity, occurrence of postoperative complications and frequency of resort to other health services. Methods: This randomised clinical trial compared an intervention group (nurse telephone follow-up) with a control group (standard care, without follow-up) (n=52). Nurse telephone follow-up was made on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 10th postoperative day and included advice and explanation regarding problems experienced by parents, using an algorithm of interventions. Outcomes evaluated were pain intensity, frequency of analgesics administered to the child, occurrence of postoperative complications and resort to health services. Data was collected at hospital discharge, and on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 10th postoperative days (POD). Results: Children in the experimental group had lower pain intensity scores after medication than the control group in the morning (P= 0.041) and evening (P= 0.010) of POD 3. Children in the nurse follow-up group received more doses of analgesics on POD 1 (P= 0.007) and POD 5 (P= 0.043). Significant differences were observed, in favour of the nurse follow-up group, regarding vomiting at POD 0 (P= 0.040) and POD 3 (P= 0.042), dizziness at POD 1(P= 0.041), and fluid intake at POD 1(P= 0.014) and POD 3 (P= 0.019) - although, constipation was more frequent in the nurse follow-up group at POD 3 (P< 0.001). There was no significant difference, between both groups, regarding resort to other health services. Conclusion: Nurse telephone follow-up with parents of children who underwent tonsillectomy was beneficial for some aspects of pain management and occurrence of some postoperative complications, but did not decrease resort to other health services.

Plusieurs études ont démontré que prés de deux tiers des patients subissant une chirurgie cardiaque souffrent de douleur d’intensité modérée à sévère. Ces niveaux de douleur semblent être partiellement expliqués par la présence de barrières individuelles face au soulagement de la douleur. Le savoir acquis sur les cognitions associées à la douleur ne semble pas avoir été traduit dans de nouvelles approches éducatives face à la douleur aiguë. Le but du projet doctoral était 1) de développer une intervention visant à faciliter l’autogestion de la douleur postopératoire après une chirurgie cardiaque et, 2) d’en évaluer l’acceptabilité et la faisabilité, ainsi que le potentiel d’efficacité sur le soulagement de la douleur de patients subissant une chirurgie cardiaque. Le développement de l’iintervention SOULAGE-TAVIE a inclus quatre étapes fondées sur les savoirs clinique, empirique et théorique et inspirées de plusieurs écrits méthodologiques. SOULAGE-TAVIE consiste en une session préopératoire éducative sur la gestion de la douleur post-chirurgie cardiaque d’approximativement 30 minutes sur un ordinateur, dispensée sur mesure en fonction d’un algorithme. Deux renforcements cliniques en personne sont aussi offerts en phase postopératoire. L’évaluation de l’intervention consistait en un essai clinique pilote à répartition aléatoire incluant 60 participants répartis entre le groupe expérimental (GE : SOULAGE-TAVIE) et le groupe contrôle (GC : soins usuels incluant un feuillet d’information). Les données étaient recueillies au moment de l’admission et dans les sept jours postopératoires. SOULAGE-TAVIE a été jugée comme acceptable et faisable. De plus, les participants du GE n’ont pas expérimenté une douleur de plus faible intensité mais ils ont rapporté significativement moins d’interférence de la douleur avec la toux et la respiration profonde, ont démontré moins de barrières face à la gestion de la douleur et ont consommé plus d’opiacés. Cette étude pilote procure des résultats prometteurs sur les bénéfices potentiels de cette nouvelle approche sur mesure utilisant les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC). L’autonomisation des personnes est cruciale et complémentaire pour soutenir le soulagement de la douleur dans le contexte actuel de soins. / Several studies have shown that many patients undergoing a cardiac surgery suffer from moderate to severe pain. These levels of pain may be explained by individual barriers toward pain relief. Knowledge acquired on pain-related cognitions has not been translated into new approaches. The aim of the doctoral project was 1) to develop an intervention to facilitate the self-management of postoperative pain after cardiac surgery and, 2) to assess its the acceptability and feasibility and to investigate its efficacy potential on pain relief in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The development of SOULAGE-TAVIE included four steps based on clinical, empirical and theoretical knowledge and inspired by diverse methodological considerations. SOULAGE-TAVIE consists in a 30-minute computer-tailored preoperative educational session about postoperative pain management, tailored according to an algorithm. Two short reinforcements are provided in person. The evaluation of SOULAGE-TAVIE consisted in a pilot randomized controlled trial including 60 participants assigned to the experimental group (EG: SOULAGE-TAVIE) and the control group (CG: usual care including educational pamphlet). Data were collected at the time of admission and across Day 1 to 7 after surgery. The results provide preliminary support for the acceptability and feasibility of a tailored and virtual intervention. The results revealed that patients of the EG did not experience less intense pain but they reported significantly less pain interference when breathing/coughing, exhibited fewer pain-related barriers, and consumed more opioid medication. This pilot study provides promising results to support the potential benefits of this new web-tailored approach. Patient empowerment is complementary yet crucial in the current context of care and may contribute to improve pain relief.

The thesis is focused on perioperative use of opioids during caesarean section. The general part is concerned with pharmacology of opioids due to their practical use during general and regional anaesthesia and postoperative analgesia with particular focus on remifentanil. Emphasis is put on the placental transfer of opioids into breast milk which has the possible influence on postnatal adaptation of the newborns and breastfeeding/lactation. The first part of the research describes current anaesthetic practice and opioid use in obstetrics in the Czech Republic according to the OBAAMA-CZ study in 2011. The second study on a unique group of 151 parturients showed that bolus application of remifentanil at a dose of 1 μg/kg at the time of 30 seconds before induction of general anaesthesia for caesarean section significantly stabilizes maternal hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure, heart rate) and reduces the stress response to tracheal intubation and skin incision. On the contrary, no influence on depth of anaesthesia (monitored by BIS) was found. But we demonstrated a slight effect of remifentanil on the assessment of postnatal adaptation of newborns at first minute after delivery. However, this attenuation was very short and in the fifth minute the results were already fully comparable to the control...

SJUKSKÖTERSKANS ATTITYD OCH INSTÄLLNING TILL POSTOPERATIV SMÄRTA OCH HUR DE PÅVERKAR SMÄRTBEHANDLINGEN SYSTEMATISK LITTERATURÖVERSIKTHANNA OTTOSSON BURGERANNA AGHAOttosson Burge, H & Agha, R. Sjuksköterskans attityd och inställning till postoperativ smärta och hur de påverkar smärtbehandling - en systematisk litteraturöversikt. Examensarbete i omvårdnad 15 högskolepoäng. Malmö Högskola: Fakulteten för Hälsa och samhälle, Institutionen för vårdvetenskap, 2012.Abstrakt. Flertalet studier har visat och visar på att postoperativ smärta underskattas och underbehandlas. Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturöversikt var att undersöka sjuksköterskors attityd och inställning till postoperativ smärta och smärtbehandling. En reviderad version av Goodmans sju steg nyttjades som metod. Elva vetenskapliga, kvalitativa artiklar användes. Vid analysen framkom fyra följande teman: 1) Oro för bieffekter 2) Syn på engagemang och inflytande 3) Subjektiv syn på smärta 4) Sjuksköterskors tillit till erfarenhet och objektiva tecken på smärta. Denna studie visar att de sjuksköterskor som deltagit i de elva utvalda studierna anser sig tycka att smärta är en subjektiv upplevelse. Trots detta resonemang visar det sig att de flesta sjuksköterskorna vid bedömning av smärta främst fokuserar på objektiva tecken på smärta. De agerar alltså utifrån perspektivet att smärta är ett objektivt fenomen. Avsaknad av objektiva, fysiologiska tecken på smärta orsakade sjuksköterskorna att tro att smärtgraden var låg, och behandlade patienten med smärta därefter.Nyckelord: sjuksköterskors attityd, sjuksköterskors inställning, postoperativ smärta, smärtbedömning, smärtlindring, smärtbehandling, systematisk litteraturstudie. / NURSE´S ATTITUDE AND APPROACH TO POSTOPERATIVE PAIN AND ITS EFFECT ON PAIN TREATMENTA SYSTEMATIC REVIEWHANNA OTTOSSON BURGERANNA AGHAOttosson Burge, H & Agha, R. Nurse´s attitude and approach to postoperative pain and its effect on pain treatment – a systematic review Degree Project, 15 Credit Points. Nursing Programme, Malmö University: Faculty of Health and Society, Department of Health Care, 2012.Abstract. Several studies have shown and show that postoperative pain is underestimated and under treated. The purpose of this systematic literature review was to examine nurses' attitudes and approaches to postoperative pain and pain treatment. A modified version of Goodman's seven steps was used as method. Eleven scientific, qualitative articles were used. The analysis revealed four categories: 1) Concerns about side effects 2) Views on commitment and influence 3) Subjective view on pain 4) Nurses ´confidence in experience and objective signs of pain. This study shows that the nurses who participated in the eleven selected studies consider pain to be a subjective experience. Despite this, it appears that most nurses, when assessing pain, mainly focuses on objective signs of pain. They act from the perspective that pain is an objective phenomenon. Lack of objective, physiological signs of pain caused the nurses to believe that the pain was not so severe, and treated the patient with pain accordingly.Keywords: nurses´attitude, nurses´approach, pain assessment, postoperative pain, pain relief, pain treatment, systematic review
