Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the mutual agreement of patients, nurses, and physicians about effective pharmacologic pain management factors related to oncology patients. This study is examined within the framework of Imogene King's (1971) Theory of Goal Attainment. The four questions this study is designed to address will be: (1) what are the similarities and differences among the patient, nurse, and physician perceptions about how the pain experience is identified; (2) what are the similarities and differences among the patient, nurse, and physician perceptions about how the pain experience will be treated; (3) what are the similarities and differences among the patient, nurse, and physician perceptions about what the patient can expect from the pharmacologic pain management intervention; and (4) what are the similarities and differences among the patient, nurse, and physician perceptions about the measurement of effectiveness of pharmacologic pain management intervention?
