The knowledge of, attitudes toward, and perceived barriers to pharmacologic management of cancer pain were examined in a random statewide sample of nurses (N = 790), using an 82-item questionnaire. Although only 7% of the nurses reported working in oncology settings, 59% of the nurses reported having worked with patients with cancer in the last 6 months. The scores on the knowledge test ranged from 11% to 93% correct, with a mean percent correct of 56.4% (+/- .92). Nurses reported relatively liberal attitudes toward pain management, yet also reported believing that 22% of patients over report pain. Results are discussed with respect to implications for practice and education.
使用一份包含82个条目的问卷，对该州范围内随机抽取的护士样本（N = 790）进行了关于癌症疼痛药物管理的知识、态度及感知障碍的调查。尽管只有7%的护士报告在肿瘤科室工作，但59%的护士报告在过去6个月中曾接触过癌症患者。知识测试的得分正确率从11%到93%不等，平均正确率为56.4%（±0.92）。护士们报告了对疼痛管理相对宽松的态度，但也表示认为22%的患者存在夸大疼痛的情况。文中讨论了这些结果对实践和教育的启示。
