Chronic pain (CP) among adolescents has received less attention than adultsandthere is limited qualitative studies about it in Iran. This study explored the experience of CP among adolescents.
This exploratory qualitative study was conducted in April-October 2019. Participants were 14 adolescent students purposively recruited from schools in Shiraz, Iran. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for data collection and data analysis was done through conventional content analysis.
Adolescents' experiences of CP came into nine subcategories and three main categories, namely perceived suffering, attempt to overcome pain, and attempt to find sources of support.
Adolescents with CP experience physical and mental suffering and attempt to manage their pain and its associated suffering through different physical and psychological strategies and using different sources of support such as family, peers, healthcare providers, and school staff.
青少年慢性疼痛(CP)的关注度不如成年人,伊朗对此类疼痛的定性研究也很有限。本研究旨在探讨青少年 CP 的体验。
本探索性定性研究于 2019 年 4 月至 10 月进行。参与者为来自伊朗设拉子学校的 14 名青少年学生,采用目的性抽样法招募。采用半结构式访谈收集数据,采用常规内容分析法进行数据分析。
青少年 CP 的体验分为九个亚类和三个主要类别,即感知痛苦、克服疼痛的尝试和寻找支持来源。
患有 CP 的青少年经历身心痛苦,并试图通过不同的身体和心理策略以及利用家庭、同伴、医疗保健提供者和学校工作人员等不同的支持来源来管理疼痛及其相关痛苦。
