This study seeks to improve cancer patients' and family carers' knowledge and attitudes toward pain management. A pain education program will be offered to patients with recurrent or progressive cancer and their primary family carers. The study addresses a palliative care concern that impacts upon a large number of Australians each year. The study has the potential to provide a brief, standardised protocol that could be taught and integrated into usual practice and to reduce health care costs for advanced cancer patients.

本研究旨在提高癌症患者及其家属对疼痛管理的认识和态度。一个疼痛教育计划将提供给复发或进展的癌症患者和他们的主要家庭照顾者。该研究解决了每年影响大量澳大利亚人的姑息治疗问题。这项研究有可能提供一个简短的、标准化的方案，可以教授和整合到常规实践中，并降低晚期癌症患者的医疗保健成本。
