Abstract

Objective: There is a decrease in sensitivity to painful stimuli in the elderly. This study was conducted to determine the pain management status of the elderly living in nursing homes.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in the Nursing Home Elderly Care and Rehabilitation Center Directorate. Elderly Information Form, Mini-Mental Scale, and McGill Pain Scale were used. . Data were considered statistically significant at the p < 0.05 level. Parametric methods were used for normally distributed data.
Results: 82.9% of the elderly had a chronic disease and were using drugs continuously, and the number of drugs used by 42.9% was between 1-3. According to McGill's Pain severity assessment, 34.3% of them experienced mild pain. Between the gender of the elderly and the McGill Melzeck pain severity averages they experienced, the average pain score of the female gender was found to be significantly higher than the pain average of the male gender (t(68)=-1.99, p=0.05). When the behaviors of the elderly against pain were examined, 62.9% reported that they preferred to talk, 72.9% to rest, 52.9% to plan rest periods, and 55.7% to get support from their religious belief
Conclusion: In this study, the severity of pain and behaviors of the elderly against pain were evaluated.
