Improving Functional Status in African Americans With Cancer Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Oncology Nursing Forum 2018 March 2
OBJECTIVES: To determine the efficacy of the Power Over Pain-Coaching (POP-C) intervention to improve functional status among African American outpatients with cancer pain.
.
SAMPLE & SETTING: 310 African American patients were recruited from an urban comprehensive cancer center. The study took place in the patients' homes. .
METHODS & VARIABLES: A two-group randomized design with repeated measures was used. Data were analyzed with linear mixed effects regression analysis and structural equation change score models. Variables were pain, pain-related distress, functional status, perceived control over pain, and the following antecedents to control.
RESULTS: Functional status was improved in POP-C participants relative to control group participants (p < 0.05). Distress also was differentially decreased (p < 0.05). Pain intensity ratings decreased significantly in all patients (p < 0.05). The largest intervention effects were observed in the living with pain component. .
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Perceived control over pain was strongly related to functional status and is amenable to interventions using the POP-C intervention components described in this article.
