Abstract

Introduction: Cancer Pain is a common occurrence, which the subjective nature of that makes the difference in perception between Nurse and Patient. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the estimation of Pain intensity reported by Nurses and Elderly Patients with Cancer in Selected Hospitals in Tehran. Methods: In this descriptive and analytical study, Elderly Patients with one type of Cancer as well as Nurses working in the oncology department with more than three months work experience were included into the study based on convenience sampling from October 2016 to March 2017. McGill questionnaire was completed by Patients and numerical Pain scale was completed by Patients and Nurses. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22. A significant level of 5% was considered. Results: In this study, 28 Nurses and 115 Patients were investigated. All Nurses were female and their mean age was 30. 37 ± 4. 13 year. Majority of Patients (73. 1%) were male and the mean age was 65. 91 ± 5. 01 year. The mean score of McGill questionnaire was 25. 33 ± 10. 05. Also, the mean score of numerical Pain scale reprted by Patients and Nurses were 8. 7 ± 1. 83 and 8. 1 ± 1. 7, respectively. There was a positive and significant correlation between Pain intensity reported by Nurses and Patients based on numerical Pain scale (r = 0. 85, p < 0. 001), Pain intensity reported by Patients based on numerical scale of Pain and McGill questionnaire (r = 0. 85, p < 0. 001), and Pain intensity reported by the Nurses based on numerical Pain scale and McGill questionnaire reported by Patients (r = 0. 333, p = 0. 001). Conclusions: This study showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between the estimation of Pain intensity reported by Patients and Nurses. Therefore, there is no difference between the Pain perception of Nurses and Patients, and the Nurses were able to correctly estimate the Pain of Elderly Patients with Cancer.
