Abstract:In order to estimate the attitudes, knowledge and clinical practice on cancer pain care in Chinese health professionals, a health professionals based survey was carried out in 29 provinces and municipalities of China by using a self reported questionnaire. The surveyed questions consisted of two multi choice factors: (1) knowledges and attitudes on World Health Organization(WHO) Guidelines on Cancer Pain relief and palliative care, and (2) major reasons impeded factors on cancer pain care. The results suggested that the training and education for health care professionals play an important part in implementation of WHO "Three step Analgesic Ladder". 35.6%, 37.0% and 26.8% of respondents considered that over 70%, about 50% and below 30% of cancer pain patients was treated respectively. The major reason for undertreatment or impeded factors of effective reliving cancer pain were (1) fear of opioid addiction by both medical staff and patient; and (2) overly restrictive regulations of opioid analgesic.
