Patients with cancer often experience pain, yet studies continue to document inadequate and inappropriate assessment and management of cancer-related pain. This study aimed to evaluate the attitudes and knowledge of inpatient oncology healthcare providers toward pain management by surveying nurses, pharmacists, and physicians working on the inpatient oncology units at an academic medical center. Healthcare providers generally reported positive attitudes toward pain management but were deficient in their knowledge of pain management. The authors suggest that pharmacists become more integral members of palliative care teams and actively participate in rounds. A need exists for educational programs in pain management for healthcare providers, especially for those who do not routinely care for patients with cancer.
癌症患者常常遭受疼痛，但研究仍不断表明，癌症相关疼痛的评估与管理存在不足且不恰当的情况。本研究旨在通过对一家学术医疗中心肿瘤内科住院部的护士、药剂师和医生进行调查，评估住院肿瘤医疗服务提供者对疼痛管理的态度和知识水平。医疗服务提供者普遍报告称对疼痛管理持积极态度，但在疼痛管理知识方面存在欠缺。作者建议药剂师成为姑息治疗团队中更不可或缺的成员，并积极参与查房。医疗服务提供者，尤其是那些不经常护理癌症患者的人员，需要接受疼痛管理方面的教育项目。
