Objective Exploring the development and effectiveness of a cancer pain palliative care program based on evidence-based nursing. Methods This study included 160 patients with advanced cancer treated at our hospital as the sample. They were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table method. The control group, consisting of 80 patients, received routine care, while the study group, also consisting of 80 patients, received a cancer pain palliative care program based on evidence-based nursing. The nursing outcomes of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, the patients in the study group had significantly lower pain scores and lower scores of negative emotions in their family members, while the quality of life scores of the patients in the study group were significantly higher, with the differences being statistically significant (P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in survival time between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Implementing an evidence-based palliative care program for cancer pain in patients with advanced cancer can effectively relieve their pain, improve their quality of life, and ease the negative emotions of their family members.
