The purpose of this meta-analysis was to study nursing interventions for decreasing pain with cancer patients. The 9 quasi-experimental research in Thailand during 2002 - 2012 studies were analyzed for general, methodology and type of nursing interventions. Effect sizes were calculated for each study using the method of Glass, McGraw, and Smith (1981). According to Snyder (1992), nursing interventions were categorized into 3 types of cognitive intervention, sensory intervention and mix intervention. Results revealed that all types of nursing interventions on pain in cancer had large effect size. Recommendations for further study are guidelines improvement for nursing intervention and the development of nursing intervention database on pain cancer patients.
