“…In this study, increasing pain severity scores directly correlated with greater interference in both physical and psychological functions, which is in line with existing evidence . Moderate to severe interference from pain on sleep was experienced by the majority of patients.…”

“…Additionally, those who rated sleep interference as moderate or severe experienced more intense pain than those who suffered mild sleep interference. These results are not unexpected, as sleep disturbance has been shown to be significantly associated with pain in cancer patients . An analysis of associations between pain of varying intensities and specific QoL measures in cancer patients found a clear relationship between least pain and insomnia, indicating that even minor pain affects sleep quality .…”

Aim To evaluate the prevalence of pain in cancer outpatients in Taiwan and to investigate the impact of pain on quality of life (QoL) and patient satisfaction. Results were compared to those of a similarly designed study conducted in 2008 to identify trends. Methods Adult patients with cancer treated as outpatients in hospitals throughout Taiwan were recruited. Pain intensity and the extent to which pain interfered with QoL were self‐reported using a modified version of the Brief Pain Inventory. Patients also indicated their level of satisfaction with their physician, as well as with their pain control. Results A total of 2652 patients were enrolled from 16 sites. Of these, 1167 (44.0%) patients reported experiencing pain during the previous week. Prevalence and severity of pain were highest in patients with progressive disease. A higher pain severity score was significantly associated with greater interference in both physical and psychological functions. Overall, 86.0% of all participants expressed satisfaction with their physician and 84.8% were satisfied with their pain control; satisfaction rates were associated with pain severity. Compared with the findings from the 2008 study, pain prevalence was notably lower and patient satisfaction was significantly greater in the current study. Conclusions Prevalence and severity of pain were associated with disease stage. Pain interference on QoL correlated significantly with pain severity. Treatment of pain in cancer patients in Taiwan seems to have improved from 2008 to 2014, possibly attributable to new cancer pain treatment guidelines and the wider availability of novel analgesic therapies.

“…Deng et al () found that pain was an important factor that negatively impacted not only in the physical but also in the emotional aspects of HRQOL but the literature points out several factors, other than pain, which may explain the low HRQOL. It is possible that the frequent hospitalisations and treatment‐related side effects, invasive procedures, emotional distress, environmental factors and symptoms (nausea, fatigue) lead to a decrease in the social, emotional and cognitive ability and consequently a decrease in HRQOL.…”

Pain, sleep patterns and health‐related quality of life in paediatric patients with cancer

Purpose To compare sleep and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) in children and adolescents with cancer who had pain, with those who had no pain during hospitalisation. Method A prospective comparative study was used to collect data from paediatric oncology units in three countries (Portugal, Brazil, USA). Participants (n = 118; 8–18 years) completed the Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Cancer module, which includes a pain subscale, and wore a wrist actigraph for at least 72 hr. Results Almost half of the participants (48.3%) reported having pain. Sleep patterns were not affected by pain. Girls, adolescents and patients diagnosed with leukaemia/lymphoma who reported pain, had significantly lower HRQOL scores. Low sleep duration and HRQOL were found, irrespectively of pain status. Conclusions The low sleep duration and HRQOL score in children and adolescents with cancer highlight the importance of physical and psychosocial nursing interventions during hospitalisation. The mediating effect of gender, age and diagnoses on the relation between pain and HRQOL needs to be further understood.

“…The levels of alkaline phosphatase or lactic dehydrogenase that were higher than the upper limit of the normal range were considered abnormal. The pain levels were classified as none (0), mild (1-3), moderate (4-6), and severe (7-10), based on a numerical rating scale (NRS)[20], [21].…”

To improve cancer pain management, the Medical Oncology Department of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) launched the Good Pain Management (GPM) Ward Program, which has been recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Health and promoted throughout the nation. This retrospective case-control study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Patients diagnosed with malignant solid tumors with bone metastasis were eligible. Patients who were admitted 6 months before the initiation of the GPM program were used as the control group, and patients admitted 6 months after the initiation of the program were used as the GPM group. The pain-reporting rate and pain management index (PMI) were calculated. The pain levels before and after pain management were compared. A total of 475 patients (244 in the control group and 231 in the GPM group) were analyzed. The pain-reporting rate of the GPM group was significantly higher than that of the control group (62.8% vs. 37.7%, P < 0.001). The PMI of the GPM group was significantly higher than that of the control group (0.083 vs. -0.261, P < 0.001). Therefore, the GPM Ward Program improved the pain management of cancer patients and provided experience for improving cancer pain management in the future.
