Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the coping behaviours of patients with acute and chronic pain. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in the thoracic surgery and rheumatology wards of a university hospital. The data consisted of 118 patients with acute (59) and chronic (59) pain between 2.1.2023-1.8.2023. Patient Description Forms and the Pain Coping Inventory were collected. Descriptive analyses, independent sample t-tests, chi-square tests (Fisher’s exact test), and Pearson chi- square analyses were used to evaluate the data. Results: In the study, it was determined that male patients used active coping methods (p=0.038) and pain transformation (p=0.016) at a statistically signifi- cant level in coping with pain compared to female patients. When the level of education was analysed, it was found that university graduate patients used distancing from active coping methods at a statistically significant level (p=0.043). There was no statistical significance be- tween the patients' behaviours of coping with acute pain and coping with chronic pain (p>0.05). Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that patients’ methods of coping with pain did not differ significantly according to the type of pain (acute or chronic). We recommend that nurses know the pain coping behaviours of patients with acute and chronic pain for a holistic approach to pain management.
