To explore the effect of modular transitional nursing intervention on the improvement of self-management of the patients with cancer pain.

This study will be conducted from March 2021 to May 2022 at Affiliated Hospital of Beihua University. The experiment was granted through the Research Ethics Committee of Affiliated Hospital of Beihua University (4348-019). Eighty patients are analyzed in our study. The patients will be included if they are between 18 and 70 years old and are diagnosed with cancer, the pain intensity score on moderate level, the pain lasts for more than 3 days, and the patients who have signed the written informed consent. While the patients will be excluded if they have a documented history of drug or alcohol abuse, and patients with limited performance, and patients have a surgery in the past 3 days. The primary result mainly expresses as intergroup differences in self-management disorders (Barriers Questionnaire-II) associated with the cancer pain. And the secondary results include the quality of life (QOL) and pain intensity. All the analyses are implemented with SPSS for Windows Version 20.0.

Table 1 will show the clinical outcomes between the 2 groups.
