account for differences in perceived pain relief in persons who have had<br />
abdominal surgery and received epidural analgesia for pain control.<br />
Table 4 depicts the comparison of mean pain scores on day one when the<br />
sample was categorized by health locus of control (HLC); i.e.. internal health<br />
locus of control (IHLC), chance health locus of control (CHLC), or powerful<br />
others locus of control (PHLC).
