Abstract: Objective:To explore the degree of fear of pain in bum patients and analyze the related factors of fear of pain.Methods:519 cases of bum inpatients were selected and investigated by using the Fear of Pain Ques-tionnaire(FPQ),the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire(MCMQ)and the Family APGAR Index(APGAR).Re-sults:The score of fear of pain in burn patients was(95.5±16.3).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the score of fear of pain was positively correlated with male,moderate and severe burn and hospitaliza-tion time over 4 weeks(β=0.22,0.35,0.41),and negatively correlated with the scores of family function of the Family APGAR Index and coping style of the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire(β=-0.29,-0.16).Con-clusion:Male patients with moderate and severe bums who have been hospitalized for more than 4 weeks are more likely to have a higher level of fear of pain,and burn patients with better family function and coping style may have a lower degree of fear of pain.
