THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG HABITUAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, ENDOGENOUS OPIOID LEVELS, AND SUBSEQUENT ACUTE SURGICAL PAIN EXPERIENCES (ENDORPHIN, VISUAL ANALOG SCALING).

GERHARD, GWENYTH GRAVLIN. January 1985 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to elucidate relationships among habitual physical activity level, endogenous opioid level, postoperative opioid analgesic, and experiences of acute pain in response to the noxious stimulation of a subsequent orthopedic surgical procedure. Specifically, the study examined (1) the relationship between habitual activity and preoperative level of endogenous opioids in peripheral blood, and (2) whether habitual activity predicts perception of pain intensity or distress in response to a subsequent noxious stimulus. The study utilized a descriptive correlational design with causal modeling methodology to assess a five-stage theory. The convenience sample was comprised of 36 English-speaking adult subjects hospitalized for orthopedic surgeries. The theoretical concepts, acute pain intensity and distress, were indexed three times for each subject by visual analogue scales. Reliability and validity of the scales were assessed by correlation with concurrent pain measurements using randomized verbal descriptor lists. Multiple regression statistical techniques were used to estimate the theory; violations of causal modeling and statistical assumptions were assessed by residual analysis. For this sample, the strongest predictors of postoperative pain were the immediately preceding comparable indices of pain intensity or pain distress. Approximately 31% of the variance on postoperative analgesic was predicted by the combined effects of immediate postoperative pain and habitual activity. Although activity was not significantly related to endogenous opioid level in peripheral plasma, activity directly and positively influenced immediate postoperative pain intensity (Beta = .37), 24-hour pain distress (B = .27), and total opioid analgesic received in the initial 24 postoperative hours (Intensity B = .40; Distress B = .50). Endogenous opioid was significantly related only to immediate postoperative pain distress (B = -.26). More physically active patients reported greater immediate postoperative pain intensity and greater 24-hour pain distress; they received more postoperative exogenous analgesic. Incorporation of information about activity as a potential determinant of operative pain experiences would increase validity of nursing assessments on which pain interventions are based. Patients in acute pain would benefit from this improved scientific basis for pain assessment.
