“…According to the theory in the neurophysiology of pain, the individual's psychological state, anxiety, stress, and fears can activate pain stimuli and lead to the perception of pain ( Cimpean & David, 2019 ). In other words, negative pain experiences in the past can also open the gate and pain impulses pass through when the gate is open and cause intense pain ( Markfelder & Pauli, 2020 ). Fear of pain is related to the past painful experiences of the individual, and especially recurrent and unmanageable pain experiences may lead to the development of pain fear ( Cimpean & David, 2019 ).…”

This study was conducted to determine the effect of pain experienced during the COVID-19 infection on the fear of pain and quality of life of individuals. Background: Pain is a complex, multidimensional, neurophysiological and psychosocial experience known only to the person experiencing pain. Although there are studies showing that individuals with COVID-19 experience pain, there are no studies that evaluate the relationship between fear of pain and quality of life of people after COVID-19 infection. Design: The study was carried out as descriptive, comparative and correlational design. Methods: Snowball sampling method was used in the research and the data were collected online. A total of 404 individuals participated in the study. The data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Questionnaire, Numeric Rating Scale, Fear of Pain Questionnaire-III and The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey Questionnaire. Results: It was determined that 87.1% of the individuals experienced pain during COVID-19 and the mean intensity of this pain was 6.16 ± 2.75. In addition, 37.1% of the individuals experienced pain for a while after COVID-19 and the mean intensity of this pain was 3.81 ± 3.00. The individuals who experienced pain during COVID-19 had higher fear of pain and lower quality of life than those who did not experience pain. There was a significant correlation between the severity of pain experienced during COVID-19 with the fear of pain and the quality of life. Conclusions: According to the results of the study, it can be said that individuals who experienced intense pain during COVID-19 infection have higher fear of pain and lower quality of life. In addition, as the fear of pain increases, the quality of life of individuals decreases.

“…The age also affects the pain level, but the effect size is very low as the odds are close to 1. The literature says that pain might be due to fear ( Crombez et al, 2013 ; Markfelder & Pauli, 2020 ). Fear of pain aggravates the feeling of pain ( Crombez et al, 2013 ), and this study found the same on COVID-19 patients.…”

Background Over 3 million people lost their lives across the globe due to the COVID-19 related pandemic. The unprecedented restrictions on mobility have imposed in the form of isolation, quarantines, and lockdowns to curb the profound effects of the pandemic and retain physical health. This study examined the relationship between various pain levels, demographic variables and patient satisfaction with COVID-19 during isolation. Methods The primary data in this study were collected from isolated patients during their isolation and treatment in a public hospital. We obtained information from patients with COVID-19 (N = 100) about their demographic characteristics, varying levels of pain, and satisfaction with the services provided during the isolation period. We computed the descriptive statistics to explain the profile of participants, ANOVA was used to find out the difference between various groups on patient satisfaction, and structural equation modeling was performed to examine the link between pain levels, demographic factors, and patient satisfaction. This analysis was performed with STATA and SmartPLS-3. Results The findings of this study ascertained that respondent’s education (Beta, β = 2.961, p = 0.003), assets such as possession of a house (β = 4.563, p = 0.000), perception of income adequacy during the lockdown (=2.299, p = 0.022), and negligence in prevention (β = 1.975, p = 0.049) significantly affects patient satisfaction during the isolation period. Moreover, satisfaction with life, physicians and medicine, income adequacy, and fear of the participants was significantly linked to the pain level (Model F-stat = 86.323, p = 0.0001). Patients who were satisfied with their treatment had significantly lower odds of having pain (OR 0.023, 95% CI [0.001–0.0452]). Patients who had enough income to meet their basic necessities were found to have significantly lower odds of having pain (OR 0.155, 95% CI [0.032–0.740]. Discussion and Conclusion We conclude that a higher level of education, low income, and living in a rented house contributes significantly to the feeling of more satisfaction with the provided services. This implies that people with more affluent backgrounds are less likely to be satisfied with the provided services as low-income and living in rented house groups are more satisfied during isolation than others. The pain level is also affected by subjective factors such as fear and satisfaction which need to be considered while doing patient management. This study can be helpful in improving the delivery of public services of isolation centers by considering various characteristics and demographic factors of patients.

“…2 With higher FOP when experiencing painful events, nonclinical patients may report higher pain degrees, 3 whereas chronic patients may report more pain density, worse activity performance and lower quality of life. 4,5 To assess FOP in the pain population, professor McNeil developed the fear of pain questionnaire-III (FOP-III) 6 in 1998, which has been widely validated in many different countries, including China, 7 Portugal, 8 Turkey, 9 Dutch, 10 Italy, 11 and Brazil, 12 and exhibited excellent reliability and validity in various cultures. Although it has been confirmed applicable to evaluating not only trait FOP but also state FOP in nonclinical 13 and clinical people, 14 FOP-III is still not brief enough for the administration of patients in busy outpatient and inpatient settings.…”
