To ascertain the experience and determinants of pain by breast biopsy patients and how the pain is managed in the first week following the procedure.
This was a panel longitudinal study design.
The study was conducted at the Radiology Department of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
The study participants comprised adult patients who presented to the Department of Radiology of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for breast biopsy between 1 August 2022 and 31 January 2023.
The severity of biopsy-related pain, its associated factors and management were evaluated and documented.
The participants were between 21 and 81 years with a mean age of 48.1 years. There was no association between demographic and participant factors and the degree of pain experienced by the patient. There was a significant association between the radiologist's expertise (p<.001), blood pressure before the procedure (p=.026), quality of education given to the participant before the procedure (p<.001) and the degree of pain experienced.
There was significant anxiety before the procedure. Most participants experienced mild pain, which did not interfere with daily activity. There was a significant association between participant pain and pre-procedure blood pressure, the radiologist's expertise and the quality of education participants received before the biopsy.

确定接受乳房活检患者的疼痛体验及决定因素,以及该手术后第一周疼痛的处理方式。
这是一项小组纵向研究设计。
该研究在科勒布教学医院放射科进行。
研究参与者包括2022年8月1日至2023年1月31日期间到科勒布教学医院放射科接受乳房活检的成年患者。
对活检相关疼痛的严重程度、其相关因素及处理方式进行评估并记录。
参与者年龄在21岁至81岁之间,平均年龄为48.1岁。人口统计学和参与者因素与患者经历的疼痛程度之间无关联。放射科医生的专业水平(p<0.001)、手术前的血压(p=0.026)、手术前给予参与者的教育质量(p<0.001)与经历的疼痛程度之间存在显著关联。
手术前存在明显焦虑。大多数参与者经历轻度疼痛,未干扰日常活动。参与者疼痛与手术前血压、放射科医生的专业水平以及活检前参与者接受的教育质量之间存在显著关联。
