Purpose:This study was designed to evaluate the effect of cancer pain-management-education on the concerns and hesitancy of pain-management in out-patient of terminal gastric cancer.
Method:24 terminal gastric cancer patients who had not surgery, were assigned to the control group and 24 were assigned to the experimental group receiving pain-management-education. As Measurement-instrument of concern on pain-management and questionnaire on degrees of hesitancy were used the questionnaire developed by Ward( 1993) and translated by Kim Hong-Soo(1998). Data were analyzed per descriptive analysis, x²-test and t-test with the SPSS 10.0 program.
Result:Degrees of concern of cancer-patient on pain-management between experimental-group and control-group showed significant difference: Experimental-group changed from 2.52 to 1.13 point(maximum 5 point) and control-group from 2.59 to 2.40 point(p=.000). Degrees of hesitancy of cancer-patient on pain-management between two groups showed significant difference. Experimental-group changed from 2.33 to 1.35 point and control-group from 2.77 to 2.52 point(p=.000).
