Abstract
Pain has been identified as a problem of major significance in oncology and as a symptom that has an impact on patients' overall quality of life. Oncology researchers have previously documented the importance of the family to the patient. This article presents the findings of one component of a larger study describing cancer pain from the family caregivers' perspective (N = 85). The purpose is to present the development and testing of the Family Pain Questionnaire (FPQ) to measure family caregivers' experience with and knowledge about cancer pain. The FPQ can be used in both research and clinical practice to evaluate the roles and experiences of family caregivers in the management of pain.
