“…Nurses, in particular, are in constant interaction with patients and therefore can play a very important role in perpetuating the concept of cancer pain self-management by the patients. Nurses can help patients in understanding and coping with their illnesses or disability (Slev et al, 2020). Evidence suggests that self-management of cancer pain enhances patient outcomes, necessitating further research into nursing support for self-management of cancer pain in order to help them cope with long-term consequences of its treatment and achieve better outcomes while living a better quality of life (ElMokhallalati et al, 2018).…”

Approximately 60% of cancer patients attending outpatients’ clinics experience severe unremitting pain hence self-management of cancer pain is critical. Nurses play an important role in treatment, pain management, and promotion of self-care of patients of cancer patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate nursing interventions in promoting self-management of cancer pain at Tenwek Hospital, Bomet County, Kenya. This was a qualitative study that utilized case study approach. Data was collected in a period of six months whereby interviewer administered semi-structured interview guide with predetermined themes. On the assistance offered by the nurses in self-management of pain, each participant reported to assist their patients differently. The main intervention nurses used in supporting cancer patients in self-management of cancer pain were a multidisciplinary approach involving all the health care providers, pharmacological counselling and patient education. The study also concludes that nurses’ interventions in self-management of cancer can help improve patient outcomes and their quality of life. The study recommends that nurses should incorporate support for self-management of cancer pain in their daily practice with cancer patients. The concept of self-management should be promulgated in such a way that it entails a holistic management of symptoms. Healthcare personnel should initiate self-management of cancer pain at the early trajectory of the disease, at the first contact with the patients.

Objective: To develop the logical model of the Alô Enfermeiro program aiming at elucidating the existing structure, activities carried out, and expected results, allowing the program implementation systematic evaluation. Method: This is an evaluative study with a qualitative approach. The development of the logical model was based on systematic methodologies, constituted from the analysis of institutional documents, literature review, search for essential elements that supported the implementation of the program, and the participation of stakeholders for discussion and validation of the data obtained. Results: It was possible to define the macro problem that gave rise to the program, establish the definition of the Program Alô Enfermeiro, target audience, general and specific objectives, as well as to structure the necessary components, such as inputs and activities, indicating the expected results in the short, medium, and long term. The logical model allowed the identification of the Alô Enfermeiro Program evaluation question, directed to the evaluation of results. Conclusion: The logical model developed allowed the comprehension of the program structure, the interaction among the activities carried out and the expected results of the “Alô Enfermeiro”.
