Purpose : This study was to identify a correlation between postoperative pain, daily activity disturbance, military life satisfaction and social support in patients following orthopedic surgery at the military hospital. Methods : The subjects included 103 patients who were having orthopedic surgery at military hospital from July to September, 2012. Postoperative pain and daily activity disturbance were assessed on postoperative day 1 to 7 used the Brief Pain Inventory translated by Shin(1999). Military life satisfaction and social support were measured by self-report questionnaire at the postoperative day 7. Results : The major results of this study were as follow: First, postoperative pain was decreased from 5.69 at postoperative day 1 to 1.98 at postoperative day 7. Daily activity disturbance was declined from 15.7 at postoperative day 1 to 6.0 at postoperative day 7. Second, Military life satisfaction was negatively correlated with postoperative pain of postoperative day 6, 7 and 4~7. Family support was negatively correlated with maximum postoperative pain of postoperative day 3, 7. Also, Family support was negatively correlated with postoperative day 5 and 7's life activity disturbance. Conclusion : Based on this result, enhancing a system of social support and improving the satisfaction of military life satisfaction are helpful to reduce a postoperative pain, as well as pharmacotherapy.
