Effectiveness of a Teach-Back Education Program on Perioperative Pain in Patients With Lung Cancer: An Intervention Study Using Behavior Change Wheel

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide (Montagne et al., 2021). Thoracoscopic lobectomy is currently the main treatment for lung cancer, with the advantages of less trauma, shorter incisions, better outcomes, and faster recovery (Nakazawa et al., 2018). However, thoracoscopy is still an invasive operation, and patients may also experience significant pain after surgery. Notably, patients are probably still in moderate to severe pain for one third of the time in the first 24 hours after thoracoscopy (Siu et al., 2019).
