This study aims to determine the capacity to tolerate discomfort by women who undergo mammography.
The data were obtained using the face-to-face interview method immediately after the procedure with women who undergo mammography (n=132). Demographic data collection form and the Discomfort Intolerance Scale was used for data collection.
Among the women, 78.8% experienced pain during mammography and the pain intensity was determined as 3.55 (standard deviation=3.00) on the 0-10 Visual Analogue Scale. Women who were not on pain relievers and nonsmokers have high discomfort tolerance. Women who were consuming substances containing methylxanthine (eg. chocolate) tend to avoid discomfort. Women with a history of breast mass and abnormal test results did not avoid discomfort as much as women who undergo regular checkup mammograms. Most of the women experience pain during mammography, and avoidance from discomfort increases as the perceived pain during the procedure increases.
Conducting different studies using the same scale can be useful in evaluating the discomfort experienced during mammography and its contribution to reducing pain.
本研究旨在确定接受乳腺钼靶检查的女性耐受不适的能力。
采用面对面访谈法，在乳腺钼靶检查后立即对接受检查的女性（n = 132）进行数据收集。使用人口统计学数据收集表和不适耐受量表进行数据收集。
在这些女性中，78.8%在乳腺钼靶检查期间经历了疼痛，疼痛强度在0 - 10视觉模拟量表上被确定为3.55（标准差 = 3.00）。未服用止痛药物的女性和不吸烟的女性具有较高的不适耐受性。食用含甲基黄嘌呤物质（如巧克力）的女性倾向于避免不适。有乳腺肿块病史和检查结果异常的女性不像进行定期乳腺钼靶检查的女性那样尽量避免不适。大多数女性在乳腺钼靶检查期间经历疼痛，并且随着检查过程中感知到的疼痛增加，对不适的回避也增加。
使用相同量表进行不同研究有助于评估乳腺钼靶检查期间经历的不适及其对减轻疼痛的作用。
