Conclusion<br />

Results <strong>of</strong> this study support the validity, reliability and cultural<br />

sensitivity <strong>of</strong> the Arabic BPI in the Lebanese culture <strong>of</strong> oncology<br />

clients. This practical tool can thus be used to assess pain and<br />

subsequently improve its management in this population.<br />
