Abstract:
Objective:To understand the recognition status of cancer pain in basic medical staff from small towns to provide the basis for the improvement of cancer pain management in these areas. Methods:The medical staff of Hengjiang Town and subordinate villages was selected. The study area is situated in southwest China. Centralized questionnaires regarding cancer pain were collected and analyzed. A program and education of cancer pain were provided for these medical workers. Results: The medical staff from Hengjiang asserted that only 17%of cancer pain patients receive treatments. Approximately 70%of the medical staff did not consider the popularization and explanation of cancer pain treatment in their patients. Approximately 64%of the medical staff was not familiar with standardized cancer pain control, 87%did not believe that narcotics could suffice the need of patients, and 44%did not participate in the training for cancer pain control. Conclusion: The medical staff in Hengjiang possesses less knowledge on the importance of cancer pain. Hence, further training is necessary. The specific management of cancer pain as a part of community chronic diseases is mandatory.
