A structured pain management education program significantly benefits elderly cancer patients and their family caregivers. This intervention improved pain intensity, knowledge, and quality of life for participants.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Geriatrics
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Cancer pain significantly impacts elderly patients and their family caregivers.
  • Effective pain management strategies are crucial for improving quality of life in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop, implement, and evaluate a structured, three-part pain management educational intervention for elderly cancer patients and their family caregivers.
  • To assess the impact of the educational intervention on patient and caregiver outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial was conducted with elderly cancer patients (60-75 years) and oldest-old cancer patients (>75 years).
  • Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving the pain education program or a control group receiving usual care.

  • Outcomes including pain intensity, pain knowledge, medication compliance, and quality of life were measured post-intervention.

    • Main Results:

    • The pain education program demonstrated positive outcomes for both cancer patients and their family caregivers.
    • Initial results indicate benefits in pain management, knowledge, and quality of life.
    • The structured program effectively addressed pharmacologic and non-drug pain relief interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured pain management educational intervention is effective for elderly cancer patients and their family caregivers.
    • This program enhances patient and caregiver understanding and management of cancer pain.
    • Further implementation of such educational programs is recommended for improved cancer pain relief.
