Abstract

Pain is the most common symptom in cancer patients. The prevalence study states that 56–64% of patients handle cancer pain. Generally, patients diagnosed with cancer have three forms of emotional responses that arise such as rejection, anxiety, and depression. Guidelines for managing cancer pain are quite numerous, but the results are inadequate, therefore often associated with anxiety. Anxiety can cause inadequate pain management in cancer patients so that it needs to be diagnosed as soon as possible to maximize therapy. This study was conducted to find the relationship of anxiety with the management of cancer pain. This research is a descriptive analytic with a cross-sectional design. The study sample was cancer patients in the pain clinic Haji Adam Malik General Hospital who had met the inclusion and exclusion criteria based on the total sampling method. The research data is primary data directly taken from the subject using interview techniques. The research instruments were the HADS, BPI, and PMI questionnaires. Fisher's Exact test results show no association between anxiety and the adequacy of cancer pain management (p = 0.321, CI = 95%). There is no relationship between anxiety with the adequacy of cancer pain management.
