TI  - [Impact of a brochure on pain destined for thoracic oncology patients].
PG  - 1313-8
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of a brochure supplied on pain and analgesic 
      treatment on the knowledge, attitude, belief and perception of patients 
      consulting oncology departments. METHOD: A prospective, comparative, study on 
      patients consulting a thoracic oncology and a general oncology department, 
      suffering from pain and motivating a treatment level > or = to 2 (WHO scale). A 
      group of patients having been given a brochure (case) was compared with a group 
      who had not been given the brochure (controls). The assessment questionnaire, 
      developed according to the KABP (Knowledge, Attitudes, Belief, Practice) method, 
      was distributed to the 2 groups. A second assessment was made 4 weeks after the 
      patients having received the brochure. Visual analog scales (VAS) followed the 
      intensity of the pain. RESULTS: Twenty-one cases and 33 controls were assessed. 
      There was no modification in their belief (risk of addiction) but an improvement 
      in their knowledge (duration of action of morphine agents, management of 
      treatment, multi-disciplinary management). This improvement in knowledge was 
      accompanied by improved control of pain: 2/3 of the patients exhibited a VAS < 1 
      at the time of the second assessment versus 1/3 during the initial assessment. 
      CONCLUSION: Improvement, if only partial, in the patients' knowledge of pain and 
      its treatment using a brochure, is one of the routes for optimising the 
      management of pain.
