Objective: The study was conducted to determine the effect of patient education on pain level and fear of pain in orthopedics and traumatology patients Methods: The study is a randomized controlled experimental research design. Data were collected between December 15, 2021, and March 15, 2022 using the Information Form, Fear of Pain Scale-III, and Visual/Visual Analogue Scale. A total of 52 patients, 26 in the intervention group and 26 in the control group were included in the study. The intervention group received patient education about the operation process and pain management the day before and the morning of the operation day. Number Cruncher Statistical System and Statistical Software (Kaysville, Utah, USA) were used to analyse the data Keywords: Fear of Pain, Pain, Pain Management, Patient Education

Study Arms (2)

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

The training given to the control group included preoperative preparation, operating theatre environment, breathing exercises, cough exercises, etc. to be performed after surgery. In both groups, temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation level, and pain level with a Visual/Visual Analogue Scale were measured on the morning of the operation day, before the operation, every 4 hours for 24 hours after the operation and on the day of discharge. Again, pain fear level was measured with the Fear of Pain Scale-III on the day of discharge in both groups.

Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

The education given to the intervention group included preoperative preparation, operating room environment, breathing exercises, cough exercises, etc. to be performed after surgery, non-pharmacological methods related to pain management (cold application, positioning, distraction), and pharmacological methods related to pain management.
