Patients' pain beliefs are the main obstacle to effective pain management. Assessing and correcting negative perceptions is important for improving pain intensity and quality of life of patients with cancer pain.
To explore pain beliefs among oral cancer patients using the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation as a theoretical framework. The primary components of the model, cognitive representations, emotional representations, and coping responses, were examined.
A qualitative method was used.
PARTICIPANTS/SUBJECTS: METHODS: Semi-structured, qualitative, in-depth interviews were conducted with patients newly diagnosed with oral cancer in a tertiary care hospital. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Interviews with 15 patients revealed that the pain beliefs of patients with oral cancer included three themes: pain cognitive representations of oral cancer, pain emotional representations of oral cancer, and pain coping responses.
Negative pain beliefs are common among oral cancer patients. This novel application of the self-regulatory model demonstrates that it can be used to capture the key pain beliefs (i.e., cognitions, emotions, and coping responses) of oral cancer patients within a single, unifying framework.
患者的疼痛信念是有效疼痛管理的主要障碍。评估并纠正负面认知对于改善癌症疼痛患者的疼痛强度和生活质量至关重要。
以自我调节常识模型作为理论框架,探索口腔癌患者的疼痛信念。对该模型的主要组成部分,即认知表征、情绪表征和应对反应进行研究。
采用定性研究方法。
参与者/受试者:方法:对一家三级护理医院新诊断为口腔癌的患者进行半结构化、定性、深入访谈。采用主题分析法对访谈进行分析。
对15名患者的访谈显示,口腔癌患者的疼痛信念包括三个主题:口腔癌的疼痛认知表征、口腔癌的疼痛情绪表征和疼痛应对反应。
负面疼痛信念在口腔癌患者中很常见。这种自我调节模型的新应用表明,它可用于在一个统一框架内捕捉口腔癌患者的关键疼痛信念(即认知、情绪和应对反应)。
