According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage . Despite advances in precision medicine, pain remains a common complaint among cancer patients, with 44.5% reporting pain and a 30.6% prevalence of moderate to severe pain. In Taiwan, over half of cancer patients experience pain in the week leading up to their outpatient visit, with 54% of oncology outpatients reporting pain issues. Of these, only 58% receive analgesics, with more medications given to those with worsening conditions. Pain significantly affects sleep, and over 50% of patients feel pain despite analgesic control. Research indicates that Asian patients often view cancer negatively, avoiding discussions about their condition, which normalizes their pain and potentially worsens it.
Enhancing patient self-efficacy can increase satisfaction with pain management, and it is recommended that healthcare professionals develop interventions to improve pain management satisfaction. Self-management interventions have shown effectiveness in improving pain-related knowledge and quality of life. These interventions can encompass patient attitudes and knowledge, with guidance and consultation from nurses reinforcing information about pain management and medication adherence.
In clinical settings, nurses may be too busy to provide comprehensive and consistent health education, leading to insufficient patient understanding of medications. Digital multimedia health education tools, which use visual aids, can better capture patients' attention and facilitate unrestricted learning regardless of time or place, leading to improved learning outcomes.
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of "digital multimedia" in reducing pain, enhancing medication adherence, and improving pain control satisfaction among patients. The goal is to overcome the limitations of busy healthcare providers, allowing patients to learn independently, understand pain and analgesic use, dispel myths about pain medications, and enhance pain control, ultimately improving self-care capabilities, pain control satisfaction, and quality of life.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Cancer pain | This study defines its operational terms using the Taiwanese version of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI-T). Pain is assessed through the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), which evaluates pain severity on a scale ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indic. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks |
| Analgesic Adherence |
| From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks |
| Pain Control Satisfaction | The Pain Treatment Satisfaction Scale (PTSS) was adopted for psychometric assessment and validation in patients with acute and chronic pain. The scale evaluates various aspects, including pain severity, information about pain and its treatment, medication therapy, the effects of current pain medications, the route of administration, medication side effects, and satisfaction with current pain medications and overall care. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks |
