Abstract:
Objective:To systematically integrate the qualitative research on effective pain management disorders of cancer patients and caregivers, and to provide reference for patients and caregivers to safely and effectively implement cancer pain management.Methods:The qualitative studies on the experiences and obstacles of cancer patients and caregivers in cancer pain management were retrieved from electronic databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine, VIP and Wanfang data from inception to September 2023. The quality of the literature was evaluated according to Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence Based Healthcare Center Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies in Australia. Meta-synthesis was used to conduct the synthesis.Results:A total of 9 articles were included, and 46 research results were extracted, forming 14 categories, which were further summarized into 4 integrated results: patient-related pain management disorders, caregiver-related pain management disorders, medical staff-related pain management disorders, and health care system-related pain management disorders.Conclusions:Multiple factors cause obstacles for cancer patients and caregivers to participate in pain management. Medical staff should have a deep understanding of patients′pain problems and explore pain management plans and interventions suitable for cancer patients, so as to reduce the degree of cancer pain management obstacles.
