Self-management makes patients actively participating in the use of drugs, transforming their roles and adjusting their moods in order to better cure their own diseases. Therefore, the aim of the study is to discuss the effect of reducing cancer pain patients' breakthrough pain through self-management based on pain control diary. Methods: From October, 2015 to October, 2016, a total of 200 patients treated with opioids for cancer pain were randomly divided into groups. Patients in the control group were given general management including the Standard "the three steps analgesic ladder treatment for cancer pain", the traditional form of health education and psychological care; While the intervention group in addition to conventional cancer pain management, self-management based on pain control diary was applied. Through repeated intensive training, patients learned how to do self-assessment, to master the feature of their own pain, problem-solving skills and formal report to their oncologists in charge. Results: After six weeks of intervention , 10% patients in the intervention group had suffer breakthrough pain compared with 54% patients in the control group (P < 0.05). The whole processing management model is a whole process, specialization and humanization Care model for patients with advanced cancer pain management, can effectively improve patient medication compliance, reduce the cancer breakthrough pain's incidence, improve the patients,s life quality with cancer pain. The medication compliance of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group(X2= 46.606, P<0.001), and in intervention group the incidence of breakthrough pain was significantly lower than that of the control group (X2= 44.148, P<0.001) Conclusions: The self management based on pain control diary is a whole process, specialization and humanization Care model for patients with advanced cancer pain management, can effectively improve patient medication compliance, reduce the cancer breakthrough pain's incidence, improve the patients's life quality with cancer pain.
