    AbstractThe study has evaluated the subjective pain treatment perception in hospitalized patients with an observational cross-sectional design, using a measurement model based on the American Pain Society-Pain Outcome Modified-Questionnaire (APS-POQ-M). The survey has been designed accordingly with other published studies for results comparison. Data were collected from 350 hospitalized patients - with diagnoses highly related to pain - in 46 medical-surgical units in a large university hospital. Results revealed that 73% of the interviewed declared pain. Current pain, ranged from 0-10, had a median score of 3.8. The worst pain over the last 24 hours scored 6.8 where the 24-hours average pain was 4.9. The patients surveyed reported interference caused by pain in the daily activity, however, they were also generally satisfied with the ongoing pain control treatment. Statistically significant relationships have been found between level of satisfaction with treatment and mood and relationships but none with pain.
