Abstract

Patients with cancer pain often experience inadequate treatment despite availability of evidence-based clinical guidelines.1–3 Nurses’ use of best pain management practices ensures that patients receive optimal pain treatment. Evidence-based pain management (EBPM) requires integrating evidence-based practices through detailed, attentive nursing care which may be impacted by both nurse-level and organizational-level factors.4,5 A lack of research exists on the impact of these factors on EBPM practice among nurses caring for patients with cancer. The purpose of this study was to identify nurse-level and organizational-level factors associated with evidence-based cancer pain management practice as indicated by nurse documentation in the electronic health record (EHR).
