“…Our findings are also supported by Zoëga et al reporting that patient's participation in decision making regarding their pain management leads to better pain relief [7]. In fact, patients' engagement in their own care has been reported to improve satisfaction as demonstrated in patient controlled analgesia literature and more recently in McTier et al [49–51]. …”

Introduction. The primary objectives of this study were to assess patients' description of their acute pain intensity; patients' attitude towards their pain management during hospitalization; and their overall satisfaction with pain treatment. Methodology. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted between October 2014 and March 2015 in three medical centers in Lebanon. All participants' responses were reported using descriptive statistics. The association between categorical variables was evaluated using Pearson χ2 test or Fisher's exact test where the expected cell count was < 5. Results. A total of 119 women on the maternity services and 177 patients on the orthopedic services were surveyed. Around 50% of obstetric and 37% of orthopedic patients reported pain to be severe at its highest intensity. In maternity and orthopedic patients, respectively, unfavorable practices included pain not being assessed prior to pain medication administration (19.3% and 30.5%), having to wait for ≥30 minutes before getting the pain medication (14.2% and 11.3%), and pain score not being documented on medical chart (95% and 93.2%). Surprisingly, 94.1% of the maternity and 89.2% of orthopedic patients were satisfied to strongly satisfied with their pain management. Conclusion. Pre- and postoperative pain remain a prevalent problem that requires a consensus and joint efforts for improvement.

“…In line with Hansson and colleagues and McTier et al., patients in the current study were generally able to participate in decisions regarding their pain treatment as they wished, and as expected, not all patients wanted to participate. Noteworthy are the results showing that patients who felt they were able to take part in decision making spent less time in severe pain and obtained better pain relief.…”

“…Therefore, healthcare professionals must learn to think about analgesic administration in a more "patient-oriented" way: a patient has to be seen as a whole person in his/her social context, and his/her feelings, wishes, expectations, norms, and experiences have to be taken into account (Ouwens et al 2012). Patients want to participate in the treatment of their pain and tell the healthcare professionals if and when they need analgesics because patients know what pain they have (Idvall et al 2008, Joelsson, Olsson & Jakobsson 2010, McTier, Botti & Duke 2014.…”
