    A multidisciplinary cancer pain education program improved healthcare personnel

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pain Management
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Cancer pain management lacked standardized guidelines before the 1990s.
    • Inadequate training for healthcare personnel contributed to poor pain management.
    • A significant need existed for improved cancer pain education and implementation of best practices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development and implementation of a 5-year multidisciplinary cancer pain education program.
    • To educate healthcare personnel in community settings on effective cancer pain management.
    • To facilitate the adoption of cancer pain management guidelines.

    Main Methods:

    • A multidisciplinary cancer pain consultation panel was established.
    • Education was delivered through consultations, lectures, newsletters, and symposia.

  • The linkage approach to innovation diffusion framework guided the program.

    • Main Results:

    • The program involved 1949 healthcare personnel across 92 events over 5 years.
    • Consultations targeted patients with uncontrolled or progressive cancer pain.
    • The program aimed to enhance skills in managing cancer pain effectively.

    Conclusions:

    • The education program demonstrated a successful model for disseminating cancer pain management knowledge.
    • Implementation of guidelines and role modeling can improve pain control in community hospitals.
    • Effective pain management strategies can reduce patient suffering.
