dc.description.abstract Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to examine maternal pain management in children with cancer and the associated factors. Design and methods: The present work is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. Data for the study were obtained from mothers of children in the age group of 0 to 18 years undergoing treatment for solid tumors in Pediatric Oncology Service and Outpatient Clinics (n = 112 ). We used a questionnaire on parental pain management practices at home, the knowledge about pain and analgesic drugs, Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) to collect the data. Results: Several mothers taking part in the study reported various misconceptions about the assessment of children's pain, analgesic drugs, and usage of limited non-pharmacological methods for managing pain in children with cancer. No significant relationships were found between mothers' pain management practices, knowledge of pain assessment and analgesic drugs, and mothers' and children's sociodemographic characteristics or mothers' pain catastrophizing and anxiety about their own pain. Conclusions: The findings of the study revealed that the majority of mothers of children with cancer had misconceptions regarding knowledge of pain assessment and analgesic drugs; these misconceptions potentially lead to manage children's pain associated with cancer ineffectively. Findings indicate mothers' information and support needs for children's cancer pain management in the home settings. Practice implications: A further understanding of barriers to parental pain management in children with cancer in the home setting will contribute immensely in developing appropriate management practices.
