“…However, prior studies found that both patients and their FCs are most concerned about addiction. 9,12,13,35 Myths and fears about opioid use remain widespread across cultures and across care settings. 4 Antidrug campaigns that attempt to combat trafficking and demand for illicit drugs as well as abuse of prescription opioids may contribute to the perception that analgesics are dangerous even when they are used for the management of cancer pain.…”

“…Despite the provided interventions from clinicians and consistent with a previous report, 15 ratings of pain relief, as well as use of analgesics ( Table 4), suggest that improvements in pain management are warranted. Suboptimal pain relief may be associated with barriers to pain management (eg, fears of tolerance and addiction 34,52 ). Reasons for the persistence of pain and its interference with function were not assessed.…”

Pain is a common symptom in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) that is associated with significant decrements in physical and psychological functioning. Only 4 studies have evaluated for changes in and predictors of different pain characteristics in these patients. In this longitudinal study of patients with HNC, changes in pain intensity (i.e., average pain, worst pain), pain interference with function, and pain relief were evaluated from the initiation of radiotherapy and through the following 6 months. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to evaluate for changes over time in these 4 pain characteristics, as well as to identify predictors of interindividual variability in each characteristic. Overall, pain intensity and interference with function scores were in the mild-to-moderate range, while pain relief scores were in the moderate range. The occurrence of pain, as well as scores for each pain characteristic, increased from the initiation to the completion of radiotherapy, followed by a gradual decrease to near pretreatment levels at 6 months. However, interindividual variability existed in patients' ratings of each pain characteristic. Predictors of more severe pain characteristic scores were more comorbidities, worse physical functioning, not having surgery before radiotherapy, difficulty swallowing, mouth sores, sleep disturbance, fatigue, more energy, and less social support. Patients with more depressive symptoms had better pain relief. Although some of the predictors cannot be modified (e.g., rrence of surgery), other predictors (e.g., symptoms) can be treated. Therefore, information about these predictors may result in decreased pain in patients with HNC.

“…[20] Further, several studies have shown that patients can be satisfied with their pain management, despite experiencing severe pain. [22,23] In the original version, feelings of helplessness were loaded on the pain severity and activity subscale instead of the affective subscale. Our study indicated that "Pain causing helplessness" was related to the affective subscale.…”

SummaryObjective: This study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R-TR). Methods: A methodological and cross-sectional design was used. This study included a total of 250 surgical patients (98 males, 152 females) between January 2015 and January 2016. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the APS-POQ-R. Language equivalence, content and construct validity, and reliability of the scale were evaluated. Results: The Pearson correlation coefficient of the scale for parallel test reliability was 0.362, and the Cronbach's alpha value was determined as 0.88 in the APS-POQ-R-TR. According to fit indexes of the confirmatory factor analysis [x2/SD=362.53/125=2.90; RMSEA=0.087 (90% CI: 0.077-0.098); CFI=0.95; IFI=0.95; NNFI=0.94], three factors were found to be appropriate for the APS-POQ-R-TR. Conclusion:The adaptation of the translated APS-POQ-R in Turkey is reliable and valid to measure and evaluate the quality of postoperative pain management in the Turkish population.
