Cilj istraživanja. Utvrditi povezanost između doživljaja i intenziteta boli kod traumatoloških bolesnika. Nacrt studije. Presječno istraživanje provedeno tijekom svibnja i lipnja 2016. godine na Kliničkom odjelu traumatologije, KBC Osijek. Ispitanici i metode. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 62 ispitanika, 31 (50 %) muškaraca i 31 (50 %) žena. Korišten je Upitnik o katastrofiziranju boli i numerička ljestvica boli. Rezultati. Intenzitet boli prilikom prijema iznosio je NRS 8 (5 - 10), najmanja percipirana bol bila je NRS 3 (2 - 4), najjača bol iznosila je NRS 8 (7 - 9) tijekom hospitalizacije. Značajnije češći uzrok nesreće kod muškaraca je prometna nesreća, dok je kod žena pad kod kuće ili u slobodno vrijeme. Jak intenzitet boli pri dolasku u bolnicu percipira 67,7 % ispitanika, od kojih 80,6 % žena, što je značajno više od muškaraca s visokim intenzitetom. Medijan katastrofiziranja je 16 (interkvartilnog raspona od 10 do 23,25). Medijan razmišljanja je 6 (interkvartilnog raspona od 3 do 8), preuveličavanja 4 (interkvartilnog raspona od 3 do 6) te bespomoćnosti 6,50 (interkvartilnog raspona od 3 do 10). Utvrđena je povezanost katastrofiziranja, razmišljanja i bespomoćnosti s intenzitetom boli pri dolasku. Postoji povezanost katastrofiziranja i najmanjeg intenziteta boli tijekom hospitalizacije. Preuveličavanje je povezano s najmanjim i najjačim intenzitetom boli tijekom hospitalizacije. Međusobno su povezani intenzitet boli pri dolasku i vrsta nesreće. Zaključak. Postoji povezanost između doživljaja i intenziteta boli pri dolasku koja je više prisutna u žena. Najveći intenzitet boli tijekom hospitalizacije povezan je s preuveličavanjem.

The aim of the research was to determine the connection between the experience and the pain intensity in trauma patients. Research draft. A cross - sectional survey was conducted during May and June 2016 in the Clinical Hospital Centre in Osijek, Department of Traumatology. Subjects and methods. 62 patients, 31 (50 %) men and 31 (50 %) women, took part in the survey. The questionnare about pain catastrophizing and numerical scale were used in this survey. Results. The pain intensity at admission was NRS 8 (5 - 10), the lowest perceived pain was NRS 3 (2 - 4), and the highest perceived pain was NRS 8 (7 - 9) during hospitalization. Significantly more common cause of accidents among men is the car accident, whereas women usually fall at home or during leisure activities. 67,7 % of respondents perceive strong intensity of pain at admission. 80,6 % of them are women, which is substantially more than men with high intensity pain. The median score of the catastrophizing was 16 (the interquartile range from 10 to 23,25). The median value of rumination was 6 (the interquartile range from 3 to 8), magnification was 4 (the interquartile range from 3 to 6) and helplessness was 6,50 (the interquartile range from 3 to 10). The survey showed the connection between catastrophizing, rumination and helplessness and the intensity of pain upon arrival. Furthermore, there is a connection between catastrophizing and the lowest intensity of pain during hospitalization. Magnification is associated with the lowest and the highest intensity of pain during hospitalization. The pain intensity upon arrival and the type of accident are interconnected. Conclusion. There is a connection between catastrophizing and the pain intensity at admission, which is more present among women. The highest intensity of pain during hospitalization is connected with magnification.
