    LEVEL OF PATIENT SATISFACTION WITH POSTOPERATIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG ADULT ELECTIVE SURGICAL PATIENTS AT ASELLA TEACHING AND REFERRAL HOSPITAL
    (2025-05-01) NATNAEL TESFAYE
    ABSTRACT Background: Patient satisfaction with postoperative pain management reflects not only the degree of pain control but also the overall health professionals’ institutional services. Under-treated postoperative pain negatively affects patient satisfaction by altering psychological, emotional disturbances, and physical function. Understanding factors influencing patient satisfaction with postoperative pain management can help improve care outcomes and tailor pain management strategies. Although various modern pain control methods have been introduced, in Asella teaching and referral hospital, including ultrasound-guided nerve block, no studies have been conducted in this study area. Objectives: Assess the Level of patient satisfaction with postoperative pain management and its associated factors among adult elective surgical patients at Asella Teaching and Referral Hospital from July to September /2025 Method: - An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 135 adult elective surgical patients by using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using modified APS-POQ-R structured questionnaires, interviews, and Chart records in the KoboToolbox. The data was checked, downloaded, and then transferred to SPSS version 26 for analysis. Bivariate and Multivariate Binary logistic regression were used to identify associated factors. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The study's findings were reported and presented in text, tables, graphs, and charts. Result: The findings of this study revealed that 114(84.4%) of patients were satisfied with postoperative pain management services. Patients who received multimodal analgesics with nerve blocks (AOR = 2.43; 95%CI: (1.39-8.45)) were associated with a high level of satisfaction. Patients who experienced moderate interference of sleep (AOR 0.45; 95% CI: (0.21-0.96)) were associated with lower satisfaction with postoperative pain management. Conclusion and recommendation: Our study showed that multimodal analgesia with PNB and the sleep interference from untreated acute postoperative pain were essential factors related to overall patient satisfaction. We recommend that all health professionals routinely follow, assess, and promptly provide multimodal analgesia to surgical patients to manage acute postoperative pain adequately.
