Abstract

Pain is the most disturbing and annoying symptom experienced by cancer patients, yet it is poorly managed. About 60-70% of cancer cases in Nigeria present in advance stage; at least 30% of such cases experience one or more types of pain,

which is almost pathognomic of the disease state. As a result, the study aimed at assessing nurses‟ knowledge, approaches rendered to elderly patient with pain and the challenges they encounter during cancer pain assessment and management at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria. 

A cross sectional descriptive research design was used where both questionnaire and observation were used to obtain information from 73 nurses.

The data obtained were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of SPSS version 22.0 as a tool for analysis.

Findings on level of knowledge revealed that only 24 (32.8%) of the nurses have knowledge on cancer pain in elderly which is below average.

The challenges nurses encountered during pain assessment include too many patients to assess (mean 4.1); absence of time for assessing patients with pain (mean 4.0);

Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues (National Cancer Institute, 2015).

defining feature of cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs, the latter process is referred to as metastasis (National Cancer Institute, 2015).

Metastases are a major cause of death from cancer (World Health Organisation, 2017). Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, and was responsible for 8.8 million deaths in 2015. Globally, nearly 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer (World Health Organisation, 2017).

Ageing is a fundamental factor for the development of cancer because the incidence of cancer rises dramatically with age, most likely due to a build-up of risks for specific cancers that increase with age (World Health Organisation, 2017).

The incidence of malignancies after the age of 65 years has increased 11-fold compared to younger adults (Marosi & Köller, 2016).  Nearly 80% of all cancers are diagnosed in persons beyond the age of 55 years (PalliFortpied, & Wedding, 2010).

The median age of diagnosis in many tumours lies beyond the age of 60 years, for example, hormone-sensitive breast cancer, multiple myeloma, renal, prostate and colon cancer (Arnold, Karim-Kos, & Coebergh, 2015).

The prevalence of cancer pain is estimated in 25 to 50% for recently diagnosed patients, in 33 to 80% for patients under treatment, and in approximately 75 to 100% for those in advanced and terminal states (Oliveira, Sobrinho, & Cunha, 2016).
