Objective To describe the current situation of oncology nurses' mastery of cancer pain-related knowledge and explore the correlation between the mastery of knowledge and nursing activities.Methods By convenient sampling,323 oncology nurses in four hospitals were recruited in the questionnaire study.Results Among the 40 pain-related knowledge questions assessed,the mean number of correctly answered questions was (19.33±3.96),with a range of 9 to 33,the correct answer rate for entire questionnaire was between 22.5％ to 81.5％,and the pass rate of the questionnaire was 0.62 ％; the score of the questionnaire had a positive correlation with pain assessment dimension and therapeutic communication and health education dimension;the self-rated score of pain-related knowledge had a positive correlation with the four dimensions; the times of nurses participating in cancer pain control study and the times of the department's cancer pain control study had a positive correlation with pain assessment dimension.Conclusions Oncology nurses did not grasp cancer pain-related knowledge well,and showed discrepancy in mastery of knowledge and nursing activities.Nursing management can strengthen nurses training in cancer pain management or increase the times of cancer pain control study to promote the implementation of cancer pain nursing activities,and to advance the quality of cancer pain nursing.
