Background of the Study
Cancer pain is a common and often debilitating symptom in patients with cancer. Effective pain management is essential for improving patients’ quality of life. Oncology nurses play a critical role in the assessment, administration, and monitoring of pain relief treatments. This study will evaluate the impact of specialized oncology nurses' training on cancer pain management at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the availability of effective pain management options, many cancer patients continue to suffer due to inadequate pain relief. One key factor in this issue is the level of expertise among healthcare providers, particularly oncology nurses, in managing cancer pain. This study aims to evaluate how specialized training in cancer pain management improves the effectiveness of oncology nurses in managing cancer-related pain.
Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the impact of oncology nurses' training on the management of cancer pain.
2. To evaluate the knowledge, skills, and confidence of oncology nurses in administering pain management interventions.
3. To explore the relationship between oncology nurses' training and the effectiveness of cancer pain management for patients.
Research Questions
1. How does oncology nurses’ training affect the management of cancer pain?
2. What are the key benefits of specialized oncology nurses' training on pain management outcomes for cancer patients?
3. How confident are oncology nurses in administering cancer pain management after undergoing specialized training?
Research Hypotheses
1. Specialized oncology nursing training significantly improves the management of cancer pain.
2. Oncology nurses with specialized pain management training are more confident and competent in administering pain relief interventions to cancer patients.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on oncology nurses at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital and assess their training in cancer pain management. Limitations may include varying levels of training among nurses and potential biases in self-reported measures of confidence and competence.
