• The primary goal of this psychosocial research study is for nurses to look at the process for collecting information from patients in the Texas Medical Center. [ Time Frame: 3 Years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  

• To identify pain and/or other symptoms experienced, any factors that may interfere with managing the pain, and about education received about managing pain. [ Time Frame: 3 Years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  

You will be asked to complete 3 questionnaires that will take a total of about 20 minutes to complete. Your name or medical record number will not appear on the questionnaires. You will be assigned a study subject code number. The study chair will keep a file that links your name to the code.

The first questionnaire will ask for basic demographic information (such as gender, ethnicity, and education) and your current chemotherapy and pain medications. If you cannot remember the names of these medications, researchers will locate them in your M. D. Anderson medical record.

The second questionnaire asks you to rate your pain and a variety of symptoms (for example, fatigue and nausea).

The last questionnaire includes 3 sections. The first section asks about your beliefs about pain and its treatment. The second part asks for your opinion about your pain management and about the education you have received about pain management. On the last page, you will be asked to use a picture of the outline of a body to show the researchers where you have pain.

Once you have completed these questionnaires, you will be considered off-study.

This is an investigational study. Up to 125 patients will take part in this study. Up to 35 will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.
