Interventions to support self-management in cancer pain

Abstract

Key Points

1. Lack of skills and knowledge, and misinformed attitudes toward pain and its management have been found to inhibit optimal pain control.

2. Self-management support comprises the strategies and interventions by health care professionals to improve patient's skills, knowledge, and confidence to manage their own condition effectively.

3. Tailored information provision combined with enablement strategies leads to improvements in quality of life and decreased pain intensity.

4. Effective interventions should target meaningful outcomes for patients such as self-efficacy and interference of pain with daily activities.
