Background: Limited knowledge and poor attitudes toward pain are major barriers to nursing management of cancer pain. This study investigated the effect of continuing nursing education (CNE) on the management of cancer pain.
Method: Annual CNE was provided from 2016 to 2019, and evaluation of nursing management of cancer pain was conducted every 2 years. The effect of CNE was determined based on the evaluation results.
Results: After annual CNE, the participating hospitals showed significant improvement in nursing management of cancer pain. Annual CNE significantly increased subscores in all domains except the domain of initial pain assessment. In terms of hospital levels, nursing management of cancer pain was significantly improved only for tertiary A hospitals.
Conclusion: Annual CNE significantly improved nursing management of cancer pain. .
