Description:

A lack of knowledge regarding pain management and registered nurse’s perception of cancer pain could act as barriers to effective pain management. This study aimed to investigate if a theory-based educational intervention could change nurses’ knowledge and attitudes to cancer pain and pain management, both four and 12 weeks after the start of the intervention.
