{"title":"Men Report Higher Levels of Acute Pain Than Women: A Casual Finding in a Randomized Controlled Trial.","authors":"Enrique Salmerón-González,&nbsp;Elena García-Vilariño,&nbsp;Alberto Sánchez-García,&nbsp;Alberto Pérez-García","doi":"10.1097/PSN.0000000000000310","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1097/PSN.0000000000000310","url":null,"abstract":"126 www.psnjournalonline.com Volume 40  Number 3  July–September 2020 Dear Editor, Among patients with chronic pain, women are greatly overrepresented, and the chronic pain syndromes with the highest prevalence overall have higher incidence in women (Neziri et al., 2011). Many studies of gender differences in acute pain sensitivity have been conducted, and, generally, when differences are observed, they almost unanimously show that women have lower tolerance to pain than men (Neziri et al., 2011). In this short letter, we would like to discuss the casual findings associated with gender-related differences in pain that we found in an experimental study we conducted on pain perception (Salmerón-González et al., 2020). In our study, we performed four forehead injections of 0.1 ml of physiological saline with 29-gauge needles in 100 healthy volunteers (women: n = 61; men: n = 39; average age 39.7 years ± 13.2), applying three different analgesic methods on each fourth of the forehead (i.e., cold, lidocaine–prilocaine cream, and vibration) before injection. Sequences of infiltration and patients were randomized using simple randomization. Pain was evaluated by each subject using a Visual Analog Scale that ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever). The results of our study showed that the average pain per injection reported by men was higher (2.89 ± 1.75) than pain reported by women (2.32 ± 1.49). This difference was statistically significant (p < .014). Traditional studies conducted in the field of genderrelated differences in pain perception have focused on certain types of induced pain such as heat, ischemic, and pressure (Mogil, 2012). Although many theories exist to justify these findings, no consensus has been reached on the reasons for these differences. Furthermore, pain tolerance may differ depending on the type of pain evaluated (Mogil, 2012). In our study, women showed a higher pain threshold for injection pain than men.","PeriodicalId":20248,"journal":{"name":"Plastic Surgical Nursing","volume":"40 3","pages":"126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/PSN.0000000000000310","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38411619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This nonexperimental mixed-methods study utilized an online survey, administered through Qualtrics containing demographic and mentoring variables. Job satisfaction results were obtained from the Misener Nurse Practitioner Job Satisfaction Scale (MNPJSS). Also, open-ended questions regarding mentoring were reported. There was a 54% response rate in which 37 of the 69 participants responded (n = 37), with statistical significance set at p < .05. All or 100% of participants reported that the mentor experience/relationship positively influenced job satisfaction. Scores from the MNPJSS ranged from 141 to 246, with a mean of 195.26 (SD = 28.29) corresponding to \"minimally satisfied\" or a mean of 4.44 on the 6-point scale. These results are similar to the MNPJSS score with a mean of 4.39. A mentoring experience can provide a positive environment, which can lead to increased job satisfaction. In turn, a higher level of satisfaction in the work environment can be associated with reduced turnover and improved retention and patient outcomes. Ultimately, a safer health care system will evolve and improve patient care and outcomes. Through Watson's Caring Model, a reciprocal relationship between the mentor and the mentee can provide a new NP hire a sense of community and direct availability. By experiencing a mentor relationship, job satisfaction can improve, which is a key factor in retaining NPs. As E-mentoring is a newer topic in nursing literature, further research is needed. Further studies could also review and develop one-on-one mentoring programs.</p>","PeriodicalId":20248,"journal":{"name":"Plastic Surgical Nursing","volume":"40 3","pages":"150-165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/PSN.0000000000000333","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38411628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence of MWs and analyze the characteristics and associated factors of MWs in hospitalized patients at an oncological institution. An epidemiological, cross-sectional, and descriptive study, which was derived from a larger study that collected data on the prevalence of different types of wounds in 341 adults hospitalized in a large oncological hospital, was conducted. The present study comprehensively analyzed data related to MWs. Information was obtained through participant interviews, physical examination, and medical record review. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the institution where the study was conducted. Fourteen MWs were identified in 13 patients, who were primarily married (58%) and men (75%), with a mean age of 60.5 ± 15.1 years. Malignant wounds were predominantly located in the head and neck region (43%) and classified as 1N (50%) according to the Staging of Malignant Cutaneous Wounds instrument. Malignant wounds were characterized as painful (83.3%), with significant pain present during dressing changes (93%). The presence of MWs was associated with the use of antidepressants (odds ratio [OR] = 4.95; p = .012), upper-limb edema (OR = 8.39; p = .003), and infection (OR = 12.16; p = .051).
