Improvement of Self Management for Oncologic Patients With Pain

Germany208 participantsStarted 2008-10

Plain-language summary

This study will test the SCION (Self care improvement through oncology nursing)-PAIN program, a multi-modular structured intervention to improve self management in oncologic patients with pain compared to care as usual (standard pain treatment and standard care). The study will determine if the self management skills of the patients continue to be used when the intervention stops, e.g. after discharge from hospital. It is hypothesized that patients who receive the multi-modular structured intervention will have less patient-related barriers to the management of cancer pain.
