ABSTRACT: Patients with advanced osteosarcoma often experience severe pain that significantly impacts their quality of life, making pain management and comfort care crucial. This study aims to explore key factors influencing pain management and comfort care for advanced osteosarcoma patients and propose optimization strategies. Through case analysis and questionnaire surveys, we systematically analyzed patients’ clinical data and subjective experiences. The results indicate that tumor biological characteristics (such as tumor size and invasiveness) significantly affect pain intensity; patients’ psychological states (e.g., anxiety and depression) show positive correlations with pain perception; different analgesic medications and administration methods (e.g., opioids, nerve blocks) demonstrate varying efficacy; and the completeness of family and social support systems directly impacts nursing outcomes. Based on these findings, we propose the following nursing recommendations: implement multimodal analgesia strategies (combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions) to optimize pain control; incorporate psychological interventions (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy) to alleviate negative emotions; develop personalized care plans to meet individual patient needs; strengthen family and social support networks; and regularly evaluate analgesia regimens to ensure long-term effectiveness. This study provides theoretical foundations and practical guidance for improving pain management and quality of life in advanced osteosarcoma patients.
