Many cancer patients still experience pain worldwide. There are many barriers for effective control of cancer pain and many of these are related to health care providers. There is a need for further investigation of these barriers. The aim of this study was to investigate nurse-related barriers to control of cancer pain among Iranian nurses.
In this descriptive study 49 nurses from two hospitals affiliated to Tabriz and Ardebil Universities of Medical Sciences participated using a census sampling method. A demographic and profession related checklist and Barriers Questionnaire II (BQ-II) were used for data collection.
The results showed negative attitudes of participants regarding control of cancer pain. Participants believed that cancer pain medications do not manage cancer pain at acceptable levels; patients may become addicted by using these drugs; cancer pain medications have many uncontrollable effects; and controlling cancer pain may distract the physicians from treating disease.
Iranian nurses have negative attitudes toward pain control in cancer patients especially about effectiveness of pain medication and their side effects. Educational intervention to reduce these misconceptions is needed.
全球许多癌症患者仍遭受疼痛折磨。有效控制癌症疼痛存在诸多障碍，其中许多与医疗服务提供者有关。有必要对这些障碍进行进一步调查。本研究旨在调查伊朗护士在控制癌症疼痛方面与护士相关的障碍。
在这项描述性研究中，采用普查抽样方法，来自大不里士医科大学和阿尔达比勒医科大学附属两家医院的49名护士参与了研究。使用一份与人口统计学和职业相关的清单以及《障碍问卷II》（BQ-II）进行数据收集。
结果显示参与者对控制癌症疼痛持消极态度。参与者认为癌症疼痛药物无法将癌症疼痛控制在可接受水平；患者使用这些药物可能会上瘾；癌症疼痛药物有许多无法控制的副作用；并且控制癌症疼痛可能会使医生分散治疗疾病的精力。
伊朗护士对癌症患者疼痛控制持消极态度，尤其是对疼痛药物的有效性及其副作用。需要进行教育干预以减少这些误解。
