N2  - Forty-three consecutive patients were assessed for post-traumatic stress 7 days after admission to hospital. Patients were asked to complete the Impact-of-Event Scale. Findings indicated that among the 43 patients 52.1 per cent experienced serious levels of stress symptomatology. A Visual Analog Thermometer was employed to measure the pain experienced at rest and during therapeutic procedures. High levels of post-traumatic stress were associated with higher pain scores during therapeutic procedures and more pain when at rest.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
