Özet

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the pain beliefs of nursing students and the factors related to their pain beliefs.

Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 351 nursing students training at a public university between February and April 2023. The data of the study were collected by group questionnaire method. The questionnaire form included socio-demographic questionnaire and Pain Beliefs Scale. Percentage, median, Kruskal Wallis H test, Mann Whitney U test and Spearman's Correlation Analysis were used to evaluate the research data. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant in the analyses.

Results: The mean age of the research group was 20.6 years, and 70.4% of the students were women. The median scores from the pain beliefs scale were 3.50 in the organic beliefs sub-dimension and 2.25 in the psychological beliefs sub-dimension, respectively. A positive and significant (r:0.218; p:0.000) correlation was found between organic and psychological pain beliefs. While organic pain belief was significantly higher in 4rd grade students, psychological pain belief was significantly higher in students living in private dormitories (p<0.05). Generally, organic pain belief was significantly higher in those who experienced unbearable pain (p<0.05). Organic pain belief was higher in those who preferred pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods together in pain management (p<0.05).

Conclusion: It was determined that organic pain beliefs of the nursing students were higher than psychological pain beliefs, and nursing students’ pain beliefs varied according to demographics and pain-related characteristics.
