Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized prospective quantitative pilot study compared teach-back method to standardized educational method in patient and caregiver to improve cancer pain management

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Even though there are comprehensive guidelines for cancer pain management, pain control among cancer patients and survivors is often suboptimal due to undertreatment. According to recent studies, the addition of educational interventions could improve pain relief in cancer patients. Both patients and family caregivers play an important role in delivering cancer pain self-management, especially at home. Providing knowledge for cancer pain management with optimal intervention could improve patient and caregiver outcomes.

The Teach-back method, where patients and family caregivers are asked to repeat the instruction they've received from their health care professionals, can assess patients' understanding, repeat or modify the educational material if comprehension is not demonstrated. This pilot study compared the addition of the Teach-back method for cancer patients and their caregivers and its relation to cancer pain management.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Teach-Back

The intervention group were educated using the standard educational method with the addition of Teach-back enhancement. It consists of 5 steps: Triage, Tools, Take Responsibility, Tell Me, and Try Again. The Triage, Tools, and Try Again focus on effective information delivery, while the Take Responsibility and Tell Me evaluate the patient's ability to receive the information
