简要总结
Primary Objective:
- To determine the frequency of self-reported over and under use of opioid analgesics in patients with advanced cancer. Patients with advanced cancer are those patients who have been described to have either one of the following: recurrent disease, those that have failed multiple chemotherapies (more than second line therapy), locally advanced disease, and metastatic disease.
Secondary Objectives:
- To determine the association between patients' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about opioids, and frequency of deviation in opioid use with patients' demographic information.
- To determine association between alcohol abuse/chemical coping and self-reported deviations in opioid use.
- To determine the association between the use of opioids and patient-related barriers to opioid use.
详细描述
Screening:
Before you start the study, the research nurse will check your medical record to see if you are eligible to take part in this study. Information will be recorded about your demographics (such as age, marital status, ethnicity, education level, and gender), medical history (such as the type of cancer and level of pain), and prescriptions (such as the name of any opioid drugs, doses, and schedule).
Interview Process:
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be interviewed by the study staff before a regular visit with your doctor. You will be asked some questions about your use of pain drugs and other knowledge and/or attitudes that you may have about them. You may also be asked for general information (such as your age, marital status, or educational level) if it was not available in your chart and medical record.
