Summary
This study developed a holistic model to improve cancer pain self-management. It empowers patients, healthcare providers, and healthcare systems to address all pain dimensions for better quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pain Management
- Qualitative Research
Background:
- Effective pain self-management is vital for cancer patients' quality of life.
- Patients actively managing pain require specific self-management skills.
- Current approaches may not fully address the multifaceted nature of cancer pain.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a grounded theory-based model for enhancing cancer pain self-management.
- To provide a practical framework supporting cancer patients in managing their pain effectively.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative research conducted in two stages (2019-2021).
- Grounded theory approach (Corbin and Strauss) to explore pain self-management processes.
- Theory synthesis strategy (Walker and Avant) to construct the practical model.
Main Results:
- Development of the "Holistic Supporting from Pain Self-Management" model.
- Model comprises three components: enhancing patient/family skills, empowering clinicians, and improving organizational structure.
- Addresses physical, functional, psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of cancer pain.
Conclusions:
- The model offers comprehensive support for cancer pain self-management.
- It integrates the needs of patients, healthcare providers, and the healthcare system.
- Emphasizes a holistic approach for improved pain management outcomes in cancer care.

654
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

02:50Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
4.9K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
