Abstract

Cancer is a non-communicable disease characterized by the presence of abnormal cells/tissues that are malignant, grow rapidly uncontrollably and can spread to other places in the sufferer’s body. The most common complaint encountered is pain. The pain management that we can provide to patients is non-pharmacological pain management, which can be in the form of guided imagery, music therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, deep breathing relaxation techniques, progressive muscle relaxation. Understanding the definition of non-pharmacological pain management in cancer patients is needed both in hospitals and for further research. In this case the author wants to explain and create an analysis concept regarding non-pharmacological pain management in cancer patients on the basis of Walkers and Avants. The things that are assessed in this management are the patient’s age, culture, environment, understanding of pain, and the meaning of pain for the patient. The author explains antecedents, consequences and empirical references. Examples of cases, borderline, related and contrary cases are also explained by researchers to explain what the concept of non-pharmacological pain management is. It is hoped that this concept can help researchers to solve problems that exist in patients and help bridge between patients and health workers. So that health workers are able to provide maximum nursing care and patient problems regarding pain can be resolved by reducing the intensity/scale of pain, so that the patient’s quality of life increases and they are able to carry out daily activities well.
