Abstract

Objective: To investigate the current status of early pain in patients after total knee arthroplasty under enhanced recovery mode and analyze the influencing factors. Methods: In the study, 142 patients with total knee arthroplasty of a hospital in Beijing were investigated by convenient sampling. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to describe the degree of pain (including resting pain and activity pain) within 3 days after operation, and the nature and location of pain and satisfaction with the analgesic effect of the patients were recorded. The influencing factors included age, gender, place of residence, education level, body mass index (BMI), years of pain, chronic medical history, surgical history, surgical duration, whether to indwell a drainage tube, type of carer, severity of the disease, sleep quality, anxiety, depression, and preoperative pain level. The investigation tools of influencing factors were the general information questionnaire of patients, pain assessment questionnaire, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS). Firstly, single factor analysis was carried out on the included influencing factors, and then multiple stepwise regression analysis was carried out on the statistically significant variables to clarify the main influencing factors of early pain in patients after total knee arthroplasty. Results: The peak pain of the patient occurred at night on the first postoperative day and in the afternoon on the second postoperative day, with resting pain scores of (2.5±1.2) and (2.7±1.1), and activity pain scores of (3.8±1.5) and (4.0±1.6); the most common pain site was posterior knee pain (68, 47.9%), followed by anterior knee combined with posterior knee pain (32, 22.5%), anterior knee pain (27, 19.1%), anterior knee combined with medial knee pain (10, 7.0%), and anterior knee combined with lateral knee pain (5, 3.5%); the nature of pain was mostly composed of soreness combined with swelling pain (58, 40.8%), while the rest included simple soreness (26, 18. 3%), simple swelling pain (24, 16.9%), hot burning pain (10, 7.0%), pricking pain (9, 6.3%), spasmodic traction pain (5, 3.5%), tearing pain (4, 2.8%), knife cutting pain (3, 2.2%), and stabbing pain combined with soreness (3, 2.2%); the patients who were satisfied and very satisfied with the analgesic effect were 114 (80.3%). The results of univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in sleep quality, disease severity, types of care-givers and depression score (P<0.05). The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the main factors affecting the patients' early postoperative pain were preoperative sleep quality, depression, the Knee Society score and the type of care (P=0.002). Conclusion: Most patients under enhanced recovery after surgery are satisfied with the effect of pain control after operation. Medical staff can carry out predictive intervention in patients' sleep quality, depression to reduce the patients' early postoperative pain. At the same time, the research results suggest that choosing family members to accompany the patients can effectively improve the patients' early postoperative pain experience.
