Objective: Nurses have an integral role in pain assessment and management. Adequate knowledge and positive attitudes toward pain management are essential to provide high-quality nursing care for cancer pain. The purposes of this study are to evaluate nurses' knowledge and attitude toward cancer-related pain and to assess the effectiveness of a pain management education program on nurses' knowledge and attitude toward pain. Methods: A quantitative, experimental design was used. Results: The total number of participants who were surveyed at three measurement points was 131, with a completion rate of 87.3%. Findings revealed that the score of knowledge and attitude toward cancer-related pain ranged from 14 to 35, with a mean of 23.6 (standard deviation [SD] = 4.38). The mean scores of the intervention group and the control group at two measurement points regarding knowledge and attitude toward cancer-related pain were 32.7 (SD = 2.8) and 32.8 (SD = 4.3) and 23 (SD = 5.5) and 22.2 (SD = 3.8), respectively. There were significant differences at three measurement points among the intervention group ( F = 114.3, P < 0.0005). There were no differences in the three measurement points among the control group ( F = 3.4, P = 0.055). Conclusions: Nurses have essential roles in cancer pain. A pain management education program can improve nurses' knowledge and attitude toward cancer-related pain.

“…When people experience pain, relating to disease, extreme life stress, or loss, they begin to ask existential questions regarding who they are and why they exist in the world. Spirituality reflects the fundamental nature of human beings; it is both the way individuals seek and express the meaning and purpose of life, and the way individuals experience the connection between themselves and other people, nature, or a divine being (2)(3)(4). Spirituality is related to patients' pain relief, which is the primary goal of HPC.…”

“…Spirituality is related to patients' pain relief, which is the primary goal of HPC. It is also strongly associated with the cultural beliefs and religion of patients (3,5,6). The U.S. national palliative care guidelines suggest that "spirituality is a broader concept than religion and not limited to it," and that HPCTs must have the ability to recognize and understand the spirituality of the care recipient to improve the quality of spiritual care in HPC (7,8).…”

Spirituality is an essential part of human beings. Spiritual care, designed to meet the spiritual needs of terminally ill patients and their families, is one of the most important aspects of hospice and palliative care (HPC). This study reviewed and analyzed literature utilizing the most commonly used Korean and international healthcare databases to identify care models that adequately address the spiritual needs of terminally ill patients and their families in practice. The results of this study show that spirituality is an intrinsic part of humans, meaning that people are holistic beings. The literature has provided ten evidencebased theories that can be used as models in HPC. Three of the models focus on how the spiritual care outcomes of viewing spiritual health, quality of life, and coping, are important outcomes. The remaining seven models focus on implementation of spiritual care. The "whole-person care model" addresses the multidisciplinary collaboration within HPC. The "existential functioning model" emphasizes the existential needs of human beings. The "open pluralism view" considers the cultural diversity and other types of diversity of care recipients. The "spiritual-relational view" and "framework of systemic organization" models focus on the relationship between hospital palliative care teams and terminally ill patients. The "principal components model" and "actioning spirituality and spiritual care in education and training model" explain the overall dynamics of the spiritual care process. Based on these models, continuous clinical research efforts are needed to establish an optimal spiritual care model for HPC.

“…As an illustration, searches on Scopus and Google Scholar indicate that BPS models are referenced without the spiritual domain 89% (Google) and 97% (Scopus) of the time. 1 Even when the spiritual is included, common pitfalls remain, such as relegating the spiritual to the other domains (i.e., considering it a subset of the social, psychological, or even medical; see, for example, Cairns, 2012 ), or reducing spiritual assessment to the documentation of religious affiliation (Ferrell, 2017 ).…”
