description Introduction Pain self-management is crucial in reducing pain intensity and improving the quality of life for cancer patients. By acquiring self-management skills, patients can actively participate in managing their pain. Objective The objective of this study was to develop a grounded theory-based model to assist cancer patients in enhancing their pain self-management. Methods This qualitative research was conducted in two stages from 2019 to 2021. The initial phase utilized a grounded theory approach to explore the process of pain self-management in cancer patients. Following Corbin and Strauss’ analytical method, a grounded theory of pain management in cancer patients was identified. Subsequently, Walker and Avant’s theory synthesis strategy was employed to construct a practical model that provides support for patients in managing their pain. Results Within the conceptual framework, this study developed the “Holistic Supporting from Pain Self-Management” model. This supportive model consists of three main components: (1) enhancing pain self-management skills in cancer patients and their families, (2) empowering physicians and nurses in pain management for cancer patients, and (3) improving the organizational structure for pain management in cancer patients. Conclusion The Holistic Supporting from Pain Self-Management model emphasizes the importance of addressing all dimensions of cancer pain, including physical, functional, psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual aspects, to effectively manage pain in cancer patients. This model addresses the needs of patients, healthcare providers, and the healthcare system, aiming to enhance and support pain self-management.
