Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated palliative care physicians' attitudes regarding social issues related to opioid use.

Methods: An email survey was sent to 674 physicians who were members of the Korean Society for Hospice and Palliative Care (KSHPC).

Results: Data from 66 physicians were analyzed (response rate, 9.8%). About 70% of participants stated that their prescribing patterns were not influenced by social issues related to opioid use, and 90% of participants thought that additional regulations should be limited to non-cancer pain. Under the current circumstances, pain education for physicians is urgently needed, as well as increased awareness among the public. Half of the respondents identified the KSHPC as the primary organization responsible for providing pain education.

Conclusion: Palliative care physicians' prescribing patterns were not influenced by social issues related to opioid use, and these issues also should not affect cancer pain control.

姑息治疗医生对阿片类药物使用相关社会问题的态度。

目的：本研究调查了姑息关怀医生对阿片类药物使用相关社会问题的态度：方法：向韩国安宁缓和医疗协会（KSHPC）的 674 名会员医生发送电子邮件调查：对 66 名医生的数据进行了分析（回复率为 9.8%）。约 70% 的参与者表示，他们的处方模式不受与阿片类药物使用相关的社会问题的影响，90% 的参与者认为额外的规定应仅限于非癌症疼痛。在当前情况下，迫切需要对医生进行疼痛教育，并提高公众的认识。半数受访者认为 KSHPC 是负责提供疼痛教育的主要机构：姑息治疗医生的处方模式不受与阿片类药物使用相关的社会问题的影响，这些问题也不应影响癌症疼痛控制。
