Background.
Cancer-related pain (CRP) is a major problem with a potential negative impact on quality of life of the patients and their caregivers.
Purpose.
To assess the adequacy of cancer-related pain management in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (ACSH).
Methodology.
A facility-based cross-sectional study design was conducted in ACSH from January to March 2019.
A well-structured professional-assisted questionnaire using Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) was used to collect data concerning the severity of pain, functioning interference, and adequacy of pain management in cancer patients.
Data were analyzed using SPSS v.21.
Result.
Out of 91 participants, 47 (51.6%) were male and 52 (57.1%) were between the age group of 18–45, with the mean age of 44.8 ± 13.6 years.
According to the pain assessment tool (BPI), 85 (93.4%) patients experienced pain and 90 (98.9%) patients had activity interference; negative pain management index (PMI) was observed in 40 (43.95%) patients, showing that 43.95% were receiving inadequate pain management.
Out of 38 patients who received no analgesics, 35.2% were found to have inadequate pain management, whereas those who took strong opioids had 100% effective pain management and the majority of the patients were in stage III.
Among 38 (41.76%) only 20 (52.63%) received adequate pain management, based on patients’ self-report in which 18.7% of the participants stated that they got 30% pain relief and only 1.1% got 90% relief.
The predictors of undertreatment were presence of severe pain, metastasis, comorbidity, and stage of the cancer and could also be due to the educational level and monthly income, as evidenced by significant association.
Conclusion.
This study suggests that cancer pain management in ACSH was sufficient for only 56%.
However, large numbers of individuals are suffering from a manageable pain.
Hence, remedial action should be taken, including increasing awareness of symptom management in medical staff and incorporating existing knowledge into routine clinical practice.
