Metode: Data diambil dari rekam medik pasien pada periode Januari 2017 hingga Juni 2019 di RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya, RS PHC Surabaya, dan RSUD Bangil Pasuruan berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi yang telah ditetapkan. Hasil: TN banyak ditemukan pada kelompok usia 36-64 tahun (55,55%) dan jenis kelamin perempuan (66,67%). Tidak didapatkan hubungan pengaruh usia dan jenis kelamin terhadap skala nyeri pasien (p > 0.05). Kesimpulan: Usia dan jenis kelamin merupakan faktor yang tidak dapat diubah dalam mempengaruhi nyeri.
