Brief Summary

Pain is a sensation of discomfort, annoyance or distress, described as an unpleasant subjective sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential injury, and may associate vegetative, psychological, emotional, and behavioral responses. It is the main reason for medical consultation and in many cases it is assumed as inevitable. It is also a clinical symptom and generates negative consequences. As a result, people who suffer from "pain" may see their quality of life diminished. On many occasions, either due to the high healthcare burden, because pain is not the reason for consultation or because the main pathology suffered by the patient is not the cause of the pain, not attention is given to it. The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of pain in the inpatient population, analyzing its presence and intensity in patients admitted to the Doctor Negrín University Hospital of Gran Canaria. Likewise, it is interesting to know what percentage of patients with pain have analgesics and the degree of relief with the treatment received. As a secondary objective, it is intended to establish whether there is a relationship between factors dependent on the patient and the presence of pain.
