With the rapid development of information technology, hospital information systems (HISs) have been deeply applied in the medical field and have shown broad application prospects. There are still some noninteroperable clinical information systems that pose an obstacle to the effective coordination of care, such as cancer pain management. ⋯ The cancer pain chain management information system can enable nurses to evaluate and record pain in a more standardized way, but it has no significant effect on the pain intensity of cancer patients.

Review Meta Analysis
Effect of Pain Education Interventions on Registered Nurses' Pain Management: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
This review and meta-analysis aims to reveal how pain education interventions affect registered nurses' pain management. ⋯ Pain education study strategies varied widely among the included articles. These articles used multivariate interventions without systematization or sufficient opportunity to transfer the study protocols. It can be concluded that versatile pain nursing education interventions, as well as auditing of pain nursing and its documentation combined with feedback, can be effective to nurses in adapting pain management and assessment practices and increasing patient satisfaction. However, further research is required in this regard. In addition, well-designed, implemented, and reproducible evidence-based pain education intervention is required in the future.

Nurses play a pivotal role in pain observation in people living with dementia. However, currently, there is little understanding of the influence culture may have on the way nurses observe pain experienced by people living with dementia. ⋯ There is a limited understanding of the role of culture on nurses' pain observations. However, nurses take a multifaceted approach to observing pain using behaviors, information from carers, pain assessment tools, and their knowledge, experience, and intuition.

Randomized Controlled Trial
A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Effectiveness of a Psychoeducational Intervention on the Management of Musculoskeletal Chronic Noncancer Pain.
To investigate the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention on pain intensity management in musculoskeletal chronic noncancer pain and to identify relevant variables and preliminary data to allow the design of a randomized controlled trial. ⋯ These findings provide promising support for the beneficial effects of psychoeducation on the intensity of noncancer chronic musculoskeletal pain. Based on the results, future randomized controlled trials are needed.
