Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of psychological flexibility for cancer-related pain patients, so as to provide insights for improving their psychological flexibility.
Methods:Cancer-related pain patients hospitalized in the Oncology Department of Anhui Cancer Hospital were selected as the subjects of the survey. Demographic information and disease information were collected through questionnaires. Pain belief was assessed using the Pain Beliefs and Perceptions Inventory. Alexithymia was assessed using the Twenty-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale-Ⅱ. Psychological flexibility was assessed using the Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale. The influencing factors of psychological flexibility among cancer-related pain patients was analyzed by using a multiple linear regression model.
Results:A total of 202 cancer-related pain patients were surveyed, including 114 males (56.44%) and 88 females (43.56%). The mean age was (59.99±11.53) years. The primary tumor type was digestive system cancer, with 121 cases (59.90%). The average pain intensity in the past 24 hours was mainly mild, with 150 cases (74.26%). The median pain beliefs score was -0.19 (interquartile range, 0.39) points. The total score of alexithymia was (66.86±5.60) points. The total score of psychological flexibility in cancer-related pain patients was (66.35±7.23) points. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that pain belief (β'=0.321), alexithymia (β'=0.222), and average pain intensity in the past 24 hours (β'=-0.481) were influencing factors for psychological flexibility in cancer-related pain patients.
Conclusion:The psychological flexibility of cancer-related pain patients is related to pain beliefs, alexithymia and average pain intensity in the past 24 hours.
