Overview
Brief Summary
This research study is evaluating the acceptability and feasibility of using a cognitive behavioral intervention called Motivational Interviewing to help persons with pain from cancer set goals for managing that pain.
Detailed Description
This study is being conducted to evaluate a new way that clinicians can help identify the goals that cancer participants have for managing their pain. This new method uses discussion between a patient and a clinician, in this case a registered nurse, during which one or more goals may be set. At this time, there are no tested methods that clinicians can use for helping patients set these kinds of goals.
