痛苦经历是姑息治疗中常见的现象。在这项研究中，我们的目的是探讨不同模式的痛苦姑息治疗。从马来亚大学医学中心招募成年姑息治疗患者。在一周的时间里，每天三次绘制痛苦评分表。采用SPSS统计软件对痛苦图特征进行分析。使用结构模式识别分析痛苦模式。共有53名患者参与。痛苦的总体趋势是下降（64%），上升（19%）和稳定（17%）。最小和最大痛苦评分中位数分别为2/10和6/10，平均为3.6/10。通过对痛苦的两个关键特征（强度和波动）进行分类，确定了9种痛苦模式，命名为S1至S9。了解痛苦的不同模式可能会导致更好的痛苦管理。
Suffering experiences are common phenomena in palliative care. In this study, we aim to explore the different patterns of suffering in palliative care. Adult palliative care patients were recruited from the University of Malaya Medical Centre. Suffering scores were charted 3 times a day for a week. The characteristics of the suffering charts were analyzed using SPSS. The patterns of suffering were analyzed using structural pattern recognition. A total of 53 patients participated. The overall trends of suffering were downward (64%), upward (19%), and stable (17%). Median minimum and maximum suffering scores were 2/10 and 6/10, with an average of 3.6/10. Nine patterns of suffering were recognized from categorizing two key characteristics of suffering (intensity and fluctuation)-named S1 to S9. Understanding the different patterns of suffering may lead to better suffering management.
