Although the effective management of cancer pain depends on adequate collaboration and cooperation of the physician and the nurse, little research has been done comparing the attitudes of the two groups. This study investigated the attitudes of physicians and nurses toward cancer pain and its treatment with respect to three domains: (a) the management of cancer pain as a health-care issue; (b) the potential problems of addiction and drug misuse; and (c) the involvement of patients in the management of their own pain. A questionnaire was mailed to a randomly selected sample of individuals registered with the Health Professions Bureau of Indiana. It was completed by 500 physicians and 471 nurses. Specific differences that were found are discussed, along with the implications of these differences for the management of cancer pain and the education of professionals.
尽管癌症疼痛的有效管理依赖于医生和护士充分的协作与合作，但比较这两组人员态度的研究却很少。本研究从三个方面调查了医生和护士对癌症疼痛及其治疗的态度：(a) 将癌症疼痛管理视为一个医疗保健问题；(b) 成瘾和药物滥用的潜在问题；(c) 患者参与自身疼痛管理的情况。一份问卷被邮寄给印第安纳州医疗职业局随机抽取的登记人员样本。500名医生和471名护士完成了问卷。文中讨论了发现的具体差异，以及这些差异对癌症疼痛管理和专业人员教育的影响。
