ABSTRACT
Despite effective treatment options, more than 40%
of cancer patients receive inadequate pain management. Our previous pilot study resulted in substantial
adaptations of a cancer pain self-management intervention, the German PRO-Self © Plus Pain Control
Program originally developed in the United States.
This program will be implemented into clinical practice at the Medical Center-University of Freiburg.
The purpose of this multiple methods pilot study is to
test the implementation regarding feasibility and effects in clinical practice. In a randomized, wait-list
controlled pilot study, adult oncology in-patients of a palliative care consultation service with pain >3/10
will be recruited. The intervention will be performed
by a specialized advanced practice nurse with an in hospital visit and, after discharge, via phone calls and
visits. The follow-up will be personalized according to
a clinical algorithm that factors in pain intensity, satisfaction with pain management, and patient adherence. The intervention includes structured and tailored components and is based on three key strategies:information, skill building and nurse coaching. The specific aims of this study are threefold: 1) to test the feasibility of the study and intervention procedures; 2) to establish effect sizes of main outcome variables (e.g. decrease pain intensity, reduce the number of patients with pain as main symptom) for subsequent power calculation; 3) to explore participants’ experiences with pain self-management support and their
view of burden and benefit from study participation
