INTRODUCTION: Postoperative pain is a condition that patients frequently complain about all over the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pain training before elective thoracotomy on postoperative pain levels in patients. METHODS: 100 patients who underwent thoracotomy for any reason were included in the study. Patients were given a 20-30-minute training on postoperative pain and how the pain is controlled, and what the patient can do to minimize the pain 24-48 hours before thoracotomy. The patients were divided into two groups; those that were trained and those that were not trained. Extubation time was accepted as baseline (0 hour). At the hours of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24, patients were asked about their pain on the visual pain scale (VAS). Respiratory rate, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels were recorded at the hours. RESULTS: When VAS scores were compared between the two groups, no significant difference was found in the values measured at the 4th hour whereas there was a significant difference between the subsequent values. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that pain training before thoracotomy operation gradually decreased postoperative VAS pain scores in patients.
