The relationships between coping strategies, stress response during periodontal surgery, and perceived pain after each of two surgical procedures were studied in 42 adult women between the ages of 28 and 67 years. The presurgical use of coping by indirect action was positively correlated with decreased stress behavior during each surgery. The use of attention-coping strategies was significantly correlated with pain measures after each surgery, while avoidance-coping strategies were not. Age and patients' rating of pain were the best predictors of the use of attention coping. These findings suggest that preoperative preparation which includes information on enhancing attention-coping may assist some patients with postsurgical pain and discomfort.
对42名年龄在28至67岁之间的成年女性进行了研究，以探讨应对策略、牙周手术期间的应激反应以及两种手术程序后各自的疼痛感知之间的关系。术前通过间接行动进行应对与每次手术期间应激行为的减少呈正相关。注意力应对策略的使用与每次手术后的疼痛指标显著相关，而回避应对策略则不然。年龄和患者的疼痛评分是注意力应对使用情况的最佳预测因素。这些发现表明，包括增强注意力应对信息的术前准备可能有助于一些患者缓解术后疼痛和不适。
