Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Cancer pain is one of the problems of treating cancer pain. Although, there is a WHO analgesic ladder to improve this problem, it is still inadequate pain control. Pain does not affect only physical but also emotional and quality of life. From review literatures we found that patients' knowledge about cancer pain management is inaccurate; for example, fear to use opioid, try to patience of pain, concerning only cancer treatments, which can cause of unfavorable pain management outcome. Therefore, we will conduct the RCT of using pain education by video comparing to conventional face to face pain education by nurse in hospitalized cancer pain patients.We will use 25 MCQs examination for testing pre-post intervention to test level of understanding of patients. The measurements are NRS, ThaiHADs and FACT-G at the first and last day of study. We expect that NRS should improve more than 50% at the seven day of study.
