Abstract

The present paper examined how multimodal management of pain impacted the rate of satisfaction among patients that had undergone surgical procedure. There was also the use of the quantitative research design and the data was collected through the use of structured questionnaires with the subject of 280 surgical patients. The patients were all male and female of different ages that had planned surgery or emergency surgeries. The results were that multimodal approach to pain management such as multi-modal analgesics, physical therapy/education demonstrated a powerful positive effect on patient satisfaction. In the regression analysis, the results showed that the strength of a significant relationship between satisfaction levels and multimodal pain management was strong and the standardized effect was also highly significant (beta = 0.482, p < 0.01). Also, with chi-square test, it was found that there was a significant relationship between the type of pain management and satisfaction ( p < 0.01). These findings were connected with the prior studies and also a point was raised that patients feel more comfortable and recover better when the healthcare professionals resort to a blend of various means of pain relief instead of sticking to one particular approach. This argues the notion that individual and in-depth pain management regimen ought to become a rule in post-surgical care. The analysis results with the conclusion that combination of various pain control methods not only reduces pain but also contributes to the increased patient satisfaction and must be considered to achieve better results in the improvement of surgical care and outcome.
