Abstract:
Objective To explore the pain beliefs in acute phase in elderly patients with lung cancer undergoing thoracotomy using qualitative analysis. Methods Using the phenomenological research method, a total of 15 elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing thoracotomy from February to May 2017 in the First Hospital of Jilin University were recruited by purposive sampling method. On the 5th day after thoracotomy, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted to describe the pain beliefs and the data were analyzed by Colaizzi analysis. Results Through the analysis of the data, 4 main themes were summarized:pain cognition, negative emotion, controllability, social and family support. Conclusions There are negative pain beliefs and negative emotion in the acute stage in lung cancer patients after thoracotomy, which provides a theoretical basis for the development of pain care after thoracotomy in elderly patients with lung cancer.
