ABSTRACT

Pain control is an indicator of good practice and quality of care that influences patient satisfaction. The American Pain Society recommends surveying satisfaction as a result of good clinical practice. There is evidence that adequate pain relief not only increases the well-being and satisfaction of patients, but also contributes to reducing postoperative morbidity and reduces hospital stay, however, we know little about the prevalence in our institution: the Angeles Lomas Hospital. The aim of the observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was to know the prevalence and intensity of postoperative pain in patients undergoing elective surgery. Material and methods: We requested the participation of 102 patients, 56 women and 46 men at 24 hours postoperatively, to answer the questionnaire of satisfaction with pain management of the American Pain Association, this being a validated and reliable instrument. Descriptive statistics was used. Results: The prevalence of postoperative pain was 87.25% and the mean global satisfaction was 9.24 in a 0 to 10 scale. Conclusion: The results showed mild pain and high overall satisfaction with postoperative pain management.
