Abstract
Pain is an unpleasant experience, especially postoperative pain. When pain is managed appropriately, it has a beneficial effect on the healing process and allows for rapid recovery. The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with pain management in patients following head and neck cancer surgery with general anesthesia. The sample consisted of 85 head and neck cancer patients undergoing surgery and general anesthesia in Chonburi Cancer Hospital. Patients were selected according to the specified criteria. Data were collected between October 2020 and April 2022. The research instruments consisted of 1) personal information including age, duration of surgery, 2) pain 3) satisfaction, and 4) pain management. The reliability value of the instruments 3-4 were .95 and .83, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation coefficient statistics. The research results showed that the mean age of the sample was 57.7 years (SD=1.26). The average surgery time was 179.27 minutes (SD=9.16). The postoperative pain level was at a level of 4 to6 points. The level of personnel satisfaction with pain management was high. The level of satisfaction with pain management of personnel was moderately related to pain management of patients (r = .50, p<.001). These research findings are beneficial to medical personnel as they can be used as guidelines for organizing activities or programs to improve knowledge and skills in the care of cancer patients with postoperative pain to help patients manage pain appropriately and efficiently.
