AIM: To explore the role of clinical pharmacists in the establishment of standardized cancer pain management ward in our hospital. METHODS: Information of hospitalized patients with cancer pain admitted to the oncology department from January to June 2018 and from July to December 2018 was retrospectively collected and was allocated as the control group and the intervention group, respectively. A total of 114 patients were included in the study, including 58 in the control group and 56 in the intervention group. General information included gender, age, body mass index, tumor type, KPS score, NRS score, etc was collected. There was no statistical difference of the baseline value. The analgesic effect before and after clinical pharmacists' participation was compared. RESULTS: The pain score in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), the number of pain occurence in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the total incidence of adverse reactions in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and KPS score in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Participant of clinical pharmacists in the diagnosis and treatment of standardized cancer pain ward elevates the standardized treatment level of cancer pain and improves the life qualityof cancer patients.
