Methods: As the first stage in understanding cancer pain control, we extracted learning experiences from 59 nursing students at College A from reports submitted following a clinical practicum on palliative care, and performed inductive and exploratory analyses on these data.
Results: Nursing student experiences with cancer pain control in palliative care was classified into three groups: 1) physical characteristics of the “presence of chronic pain due to cancer,” 2) psychological characteristics of the “loss of ability brought about by cancer” which led to an understanding of those affected, and 3) family/social characteristics such as “lifestyle changes,” “role changes,” and “social isolation.”
Conclusions: Experiences of nursing students learning to understand pain control in palliative care included “trying to understand the person’s pain” and “reaching out more to understand the impact of cancer pain,” as they learned to act with basic respect for human beings. These two learning experiences may represent the first stages of understanding pain control in palliative care.
