摘要
正確的評估為有效疼痛處理的基礎，護生的疼痛信念、疼痛知識及疼痛態度會影
響其日後對病人疼痛的處理。本研究目的在探討及比較三種不同學制護理系畢業
班（一般學制班、二技正規班、二技在職班）護生之癌症疼痛信念及疼痛知識，
並探討可以預測其癌痛信念及疼痛知識之相關因素。研究採橫斷式相關設計，針
對北部某醫學院護理系畢業班護生，以疼痛及麻醉性止痛藥治療信念量表--癌痛
版、Ferrell 疼痛知識態度量表及基本資料表，進行問卷調查，共發出問卷 220 份，
回收 188 份，回收率 85.5%。研究結果顯示：
（1）整體而言，護生癌痛及麻醉性
止痛藥信念具有正向態度，但卻仍普遍地認為疼痛是癌症不可避免的症狀；
（2）
護生疼痛處理的知識相當不足，三十七題的知識量表中，平均答對 17.7 題，平
均答對率為 47.9%，各題答對率分佈由 10.6%至 93.1%；（3）來自不同學制背景
的護生有明顯的癌痛信念及知識上的差異，不具臨床工作背景的護生對癌痛及麻
醉性止痛劑的信念愈負向，及較差的疼痛處理知識；
（4）接受護理教育年數與接
受疼痛處理課程與否，皆可以預測護生的癌痛信念及疼痛知識。本研究發現護生
對疼痛處理的知識相當不足，建議於教育及臨床上應積極增加疼痛處理課程時數
及案例分析的演練。
Abstract
The purposes of this study were to (1) examine the beliefs and knowledge regarding cancer pain management in the last year undergraduate nurse students, and (2) analyze the factors which can best predict these student nurses’ pain beliefs and knowledge. A cross-sectional survey with a structured questionnaire including “Background Information Form,” “Pain and Opioid Analgesics Beliefs Scales - Cancer Version” and Ferrell’s “Nurses’ Knowledge and Attitudes Survey” were used. One hundred and eighty eight subjects were recruited, with a
beliefs regarding cancer pain and narcotic analgesics, but most of them believed cancer pain is inevitable; (2) there existed a serious knowledge deficiency in student nurses, especially in
pharmacological knowledge. The correct response rate, in average, was 47.9%, and the correct response rate for each question raged from 10.6% to 93.1%; (3) students nurses
without working experience and without nursing education background before their undergraduate program had more negative pain beliefs and the worst pain knowledge scores;
and (4) results from stepwise regression showed that students having more years in nursing education and having received pain management class had more positive pain beliefs and
more correct knowledge of pain management. The results suggest that more cancer pain control classes should be arranged in both school education and clinical education. The content of these courses should focus more on pharmacological pain management knowledge
