Abstract

Eighty six patients were divided in three groups depending on type of used surgery. During the preoperative period the patients were checked twice for pain sensitivity: after a finger prick and a venipuncture. Also, they were checked four times during the postoperative period, right after the awakening, 1, 3 hours after the awakening and 24 hours after the operation. Visual-analog scale was used to assess the pain. Psychic characteristics were studied using the “Integrative test of anxiety”, “Survey of neurotic disorders” and a questionnaire “Types of attitudes to diseases” Each patient was evaluated by 70 indexes in total, including 54 psychic ones. It was identified that the relationship between the pain intensity in postoperative wound and psychic characteristics of patients was far more expressed in latter time periods after the operation (3 hours and, especially, in 24 hours after the operation). Emotional and affective characteristics of a person and psychic conditions examined in preoperative period have the strongest relation with pain intensity.
