“…perceptions of the patients regarding the outcome of pain management and the extent to which it meets their needs and expectations. It was measured by a 4-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = agree, 4 = strongly agree) using the LMSQ which has 18 items within 6 subscales that have 3 items in each (effectivity, practicality, side-effects, daily life, healthcare providers, and overall satisfaction) [ 19 ]. Final categorization was done by dichotomizing into satisfied and dissatisfied by using the demarcation threshold formula.…”

Background Patient satisfaction is an important indicator of the quality of healthcare. Pain is one of the most common symptoms among cancer patients that needs optimal treatment; rather, it compromises the quality of life of patients. Objective To assess the levels and associated factors of satisfaction with cancer pain treatment among adult patients at cancer centers found in Northern Ethiopia in 2023. Methods After obtaining ethical approval, a multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted at four cancer care centers in northern Ethiopia. The data were collected using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire that included the Lubeck Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (LMSQ). The severity of pain was assessed by a numerical rating scale from 0 to 10 with a pain score of 0 = no pain, 1–3 = mild pain, 4–6 = moderate pain, and 7–10 = severe pain Binary logistic regression analysis was employed, and the strength of association was described in an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval. Result A total of 397 cancer patients participated in this study, with a response rate of 98.3%. We found that 70.3% of patients were satisfied with their cancer pain treatment. Being married (AOR = 5.6, CI = 2.6–12, P < 0.001) and being single (never married) (AOR = 3.5, CI = 1.3–9.7, P = 0.017) as compared to divorced, receiving adequate pain management (AOR = 2.4, CI = 1.1–5.3, P = 0.03) as compared to those who didn’t receive it, and having lower pain severity (AOR = 2.6, CI = 1.5–4.8, P < 0.001) as compared to those who had higher level of pain severity were found to be associated with satisfaction with cancer pain treatment. Conclusion The majority of cancer patients were satisfied with cancer pain treatment. Being married, being single (never married), lower pain severity, and receiving adequate pain management were found to be associated with satisfaction with cancer pain treatment. It would be better to enhance the use of multimodal analgesia in combination with strong opioids to ensure adequate pain management and lower pain severity scores.

Treatment satisfaction is a person’s rating of his or her treatment experience, including processes and outcomes. It is directly related to treatment adherence, which may be predictive of treatment effectiveness in clinical and real-world research. Consequently, patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments have been developed to incorporate patient experience throughout various stages of drug development and routine care. PRO instruments enable clinicians and researchers to evaluate and compare treatment satisfaction data in different clinical settings. It is important to select fit-for-purpose PRO instruments that have demonstrated adequate levels of reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change to support their use. Some of these instruments are unidimensional while some are multidimensional; some are generic and can be applied across different therapeutic areas, while others have been developed for use in a specific treatment modality or condition. This article describes the role of treatment satisfaction in drug development as well as regulatory and Health Technology Assessment (HTA) decision making and calls for more widespread use of carefully selected treatment satisfaction PRO instruments in early- and late-phase drug development.
