Summary points:

  • Prevalence of pain remains high among cancer patients, and it is important to empower and improve nurses’ knowledge and attitudes towards pain management.
  • Nurse patient interaction can affect pain assessment even though nurses acknowledge that pain is a subjective experience.
  • Unfamiliarity with opioid pharmacology and misconception regarding opioid addiction or overdose can potentially impact how confident nurses on its usage in the clinical setting
  • Pain management education need to focus on translating knowledge into clinical practice.
