本研究目的主要探討癌痛病患的疼痛因應策略及其影響因素。籍由調查法，針對124位癌痛病患，以「健康控制愛心量表」、「焦處反應量表」、「憂鬱量表」及「疼痛因應策略量表」等問卷收集資料。重要研究發現:(1)癌痛痛患以「祈禱/希望」、「自我陳述」及「疼痛行為」為使用頻率最高之因應策略。(2)癌痛病患的疼痛因應策略與年齡、性別、教育程度、宗教信仰、疼痛期間、平均疼痛程度、平均最痛程度、疼痛部位總數、疼痛表達方式、日常生活功能、健康控制重心傾向、焦慮程度及憂鬱程度等變項有關。(3)癌痛病患人口學特性、疾病特徵、健康控制重心及心理困擾對疼痛因應策略的預測方面，可以解釋「疼痛因應策略」中各次量表總變異量的範圍為19.60%-77%之間，其中以「憂鬱程度」、「焦慮程度」及「無宗教信仰」等三項可解釋「厄運策略」總變異量的63.77%為最高。根據以上研究結果，本文亦提出建議並討論其在護理上的應用。

The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the relationships among pain coping strategies and related factors in cancer pain patients. The study was produced in a survey design with 124 subjects included. The test instruments used in the study were "MultidimensionalHealth Locus of Control Scale" , "AnxietyScale" , "Depression Scale" and "PainCoping Strategies Scale" . The major finding of this study were: (1) The pain coping strategies of most cancer pain patients were praying/hoping, self-expression, and pain behaviors. (2) Age, gender, religion, pain duration, average level of pain, average level of the most pain, number of pain sites, pain expression style, activities of daily living, health locus of control, anxiety and depression were significantly associated with pain coping strategies (p < 0.05). (3) Patients' pain coping strategies could be predicted by demographic characteristics, characteristics of disease, health locus of control and psychological distress. The total variance range was 19.6% to 63.77%; whereas depression, anxiety and religion could predict greater reliance on catastrophe strategies in dealing with their pain. The nursing implications and further study were also suggested.
