“…The transcribed text was then subjected to content analysis, based on the description by Graneheim and Lundman (2004), which in turn is based on definitions and descriptions of, among others Patton (1987) and Polit and Hungler (1999). Content analysis was used to understand the manifest data and to interpret the latent content.…”

“…They describe important concepts related to qualitative content analysis, illustrate the use of concepts related to the research procedure and propose measures to achieve trustworthiness throughout the research procedure, based on a variety of research traditions (Lincoln & Guba, 1985;Patton, 1987;Polit & Hungler, 1999). The first author (AK) conducted the analyses, but in order to increase trustworthiness, discussions with the second (IB) and the fourth (MB) authors were held regularly throughout the entire analysis (Lincoln & Guba, 1985;Polit & Beck, 2012).…”

Pitcher PERFORMING ORGANIZATION NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)University Each year an estimated one million women elect to have surgical sterilization. This is performed by a laparoscopic procedure which can be severe enough to warrant an unplanned admission. With an increased understanding of the physiological basis of pain, classes of drugs not normally associated with pam reduction are now being investigated based on their ability to mteract with receptors in the pain pathway. Experimental studies have shown that the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor plays a significant role in neuronal "wind-up", a state of hyperalgesia that can last from hours to days following injury or trauma.. Interfering with the NMDA receptor prior to surgical stimuli, wmd-up is prevented resuUing in decreased pain and analgesic requirements followmg surgery. Dextromethorphan, a readily available nonopioid antimssive in clinical use for more than 40 years, is one such NMDA receptor Anticosti. This prospective, randomized, double blind pilot study compared the effects over time when patients received dextromethorphan versus placebo-emptively. The sample was comprised of 14 subjects undergomg laparoscopic tubal ligation under general endotracheal anesthesia at regional military medical center for the Pacific Basin. Patients were ASA physical category I or II and at least 18 years of age and assigned to one of two groups. Group I received 60 mg of dextromethorphan orally, and Group II received an oral placebo. Postoperative pain was assessed using an 11 point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at eight time intervals. Additionally, a follow-up questionnaire and 48-hour postoperative telephone call were used to collect data on the patients' satisfaction of being in the study. The Student's t-test was used to determine homogeneity between the two groups. Following analysis, a statistically significant difference was found in two areas. Patients who received dextromethorphan 60 mg orally before surgery had a significant decrease m postoperative pain (p<0.04). The amount of Roxicet required postoperative was statistically less in the dextromethorphan group (p<0.02). The preoperative use of dextromethorphan may significantly decreased the amount of postoperative pain experienced with a resultant decrease in need for narcotic analgesics. This prospective, randomized, double blind pilot study compared the effects over time when patients received de...
