Abstract:
This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the current status and effect of psychological pain management in patients undergoing anorectal surgery, and to explore its application methods and influencing factors. Anorectal diseases are common digestive diseases, and their incidence is increasing year by year. The severe postoperative pain not only affects the physiological function of patients, but also easily causes psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression, forming psychological pain. Psychological pain management, as an emerging comprehensive nursing strategy, combines multidisciplinary knowledge such as psychology, medicine, and nursing. Through psychological intervention measures such as cognitive intervention, emotional support, and pain management education, it aims to relieve patients’ pain and anxiety, and improve treatment satisfaction and quality of life. The status and effect of psychological pain management in patients undergoing anorectal surgery were comprehensively evaluated through questionnaire surveys. The study found that psychological pain management has been widely used among patients, especially cognitive behavioral therapy and relaxation training, which show their importance in pain management due to their high acceptance and satisfaction. Psychological pain management shows moderate to high effects in relieving pain, promoting postoperative recovery, and improving patient comfort. The key factors affecting the effect of psychological pain management include the type of surgery, attitude of medical staff, individual differences, and family support. Although most patients have some understanding of psychological pain management, there is still room for improvement, especially in the diversity of methods and medical staff training. The study recommends strengthening publicity and education on psychological pain management, improving the professional ability of medical staff, paying attention to individual differences of patients, and exploring diversified management methods.
