Abstract

Pain words used to communicate suffering were analyzed to identify specific dimensions of back pain. The words were obtained from a group of 131 patients suffering from back pain who described their discomfort on a standardized 87-item pain questionnaire. The results indicate that words descriptive of back pain are not associated in completely random ways. When patients complain of back pain, their report falls into 7 distinguishable patterns. The major pattern accounts for 38% of the variance and refers almost entirely to emotional discomfort. The second pattern accounts for 9% of the variance and is a mixed emotional and sensory factor. The remaining 5 patterns account for 29% of the variance and constitute an entirely sensory class of factors.

摘要

对用于传达痛苦的疼痛词汇进行了分析，以确定背痛的具体维度。这些词汇来自一组131名背痛患者，他们在一份标准化的87项疼痛问卷上描述了自己的不适。结果表明，描述背痛的词汇并非完全随机关联。当患者诉说背痛时，他们的报告可分为7种可区分的模式。主要模式占变异的38%，几乎完全指情感不适。第二种模式占变异的9%，是情感和感觉的混合因素。其余5种模式占变异的29%，构成了一个完全是感觉类的因素。
