癌症患者疼痛的护理

癌症是当前危害人类健康，导致死亡的重大疾病之一，然而在癌症病人的自觉症状中，疼痛的发生率最高。晚期癌症病人至少有80％有中度或重度的疼痛。疼痛是造成癌症患者恐惧的主要原因之一。有时病人对疼痛的恐惧胜过对死亡的威胁。持续性疼痛不仅影响病人的正常生活，而且引起严重的心理变化，甚至丧失了生存的希望。这些疼痛严重影响了患者的     

癌症患者家属需求的调查分析

癌症是威胁人类生命的最严重的疾病之一，随着环境的恶化和生活方式的改变，癌症发病率逐年增加。然而，随着癌症治疗水平的提高，癌症病人的存活率和生存时间也有逐渐提高的趋势，许多家庭都笼罩在癌症的阴影之下。癌症的诊断与治疗，不仅对病人是一个重大的打击，他们的亲属也同样感受危机的存在。癌症患家属在身体上、精神上都承受着极大的压力，他们的需要与感受同样应该成为医护人员关注的焦点。

Concerns About Pain and Prescribed Opioids in Taiwanese Oncology Outpatients

Pharmacologic agents are considered to be a cornerstone of cancer pain management. Patients' concerns about use of analgesics are likely to lead to poor pain management. The purpose of this study was to describe participants' responses to their beliefs regarding pain and prescribed opioids. Ninety-two outpatients age ≥18 years who had taken prescribed opioid analgesics for cancer-related pain in two teaching hospitals in the Taipei area completed the Pain Opioid Analgesics Beliefs Scale–Cancer. An important finding of this study is that large numbers of patients had misconceptions about using opioids for pain. Between 33.7% and 68.5% of the patients in this study held negative beliefs about opioids and beliefs about pain. Specifically, 68.5% of the patients agreed that “opioid medication is not good for a person's body.” Many patients (62%) agreed that “the more opioid medicine a patient used, the greater the possibility that he/she might rely on the medicine forever,” and 61.0% agreed that “if a patient starts to use opioid medicine at too early a stage, the medicine will have less of an effect later.” Two-thirds (66.3%) of the sample agreed that adult patients should not use opioid medicine frequently. The findings provide empirical support for the need for better programmatic efforts to improve beliefs of pain and analgesics in Taiwanese oncology outpatients.     

Barriers to Effective Pain Management in Cancer Patients From the Perspective of Patients and Family Caregivers: A Qualitative Study

BackgroundPain is one of the most common and undesired symptoms in cancer patients, affecting patients’ physical and psychological well-being. Barriers to effective pain management in cancer patients need to be identified and addressed by clinicians.AimsThe purpose of this study was to explore the barriers to effective cancer pain management from the perspective of cancer patients and their family members.MethodsA qualitative research design was employed. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 patients and 10 family caregivers to elucidate their perspectives regarding the barriers to effective cancer pain management in Jordan.ResultsRegulatory factors, knowledge deficit, and the use of religious and cultural strategies to cope with pain were major barriers to effective cancer pain management. Although effective cancer pain management is highly recommended, the participants’ cultural beliefs deeply appreciated pain tolerance and discouraged effective treatment of cancer pain.ConclusionTailoring culturally appropriate educational programs regarding effective cancer pain management could facilitate pain management among patients with cancer.     

The Concerns About Pain (CAP) Scale: A Patient-Reported Outcome Measure of Pain Catastrophizing

Pain catastrophizing has been recognized as an important and consistent psychosocial predictor of nearly every key pain-related outcome. The purpose of this study was to develop a new measure of pain catastrophizing using modern psychometric methodology. People with chronic pain (N = 795) responded to thirty items. Data were analyzed using item response theory, including assessment of differential item functioning and reliability. Sensitivity to change and validity were examined using data collected from patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery (n = 184) and participating in an ongoing longitudinal aging with a disability survey study (n = 1,388). The final 24-item bank had no items with significant local dependence, misfit, or differential item functioning. Results provided strong evidence of reliability and validity. Six- and 2-item short forms were developed for use when computer adaptive testing is not feasible or desirable. The item bank was named the University of Washington Concerns About Pain scale because the term “catastrophizing” was considered stigmatizing by people with chronic pain. Guidance for score interpretation was developed with extensive feedback from individuals with chronic pain. The Concerns About Pain item bank, short forms, and user manuals are free and publicly available to all users and can be accessed online at https://uwcorr.washington.edu/measures/.PerspectiveThis article presents the development of the University of Washington Concerns About Pain scale, the first item response theory-based item bank of pain catastrophizing. The measure is intended for clinicians interested in improving outcomes of patients with chronic pain and for researchers who study impact of and treatment interventions aimed at reducing pain catastrophizing.
