Does it state succinctly what the research is about? Is it visually engaging for readers?</p><br /><p> Hematological malignancy is one of the most common cancers occurring in Hong Kong. Pain is reported to be a major symptom for many patients with hematological cancer. For many hematological patients, the prospect of pain is more frightening than any other potential complications which including death. Pain is often poorly assessed, and many caregivers lack sufficient knowledge to optimize treatment. However, little is known about this symptom among Chinese people who have cancer. </p><br /><p> Pain assessment and management among cancer patients has been studied in non-Chinese populations. However, research concerning the impact of pain assessment and management in the Chinese population has been very limited. The aim of this study was to examine pain assessment and management in Chinese patients for a hematological malignancy in Hong Kong. I hope the results may help nurses working with Chinese populations in identifying patients at risk for increased pain and in planning pain-relieving strategies.</p><br /><p> The purpose of the study <br /> The purpose of the study was to investigate nurses pain assessment and pain management practices of patients with hematology malignancy requiring an acute hospital admission to a Hematology unit.
