Main Article Content

Abstract

The study aimed to describe pain status using the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) in mechanically ventilated patients and related factors at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. A descriptive study was conducted on mechanically ventilated patients in the Emergency and Intensive Care Department from November 2023 to February 2024. Pain was assessed using the BPS during routine nursing procedures, including oral care, suctioning, and repositioning. The results showed that suctioning was the most painful invasive nursing procedure for ventilated patients (Median= 7, IQR: 6–7.25), with a majority experiencing moderate to severe pain. This was followed by repositioning and oral care (Median= 5, IQR: 4–6), where most patients reported mild pain. Several factors such as RASS score, gender, primary diagnosis, invasive ventilation method, and the use of analgesics were significantly associated with pain during nursing care (p < 0.05).
