Purpose: Using a feminist perspective, the relationship between acculturation and cancer pain experience was explored. Design: This was a cross-sectional, correlational Internet study among 104 Hispanic and 114 Asian cancer patients. The instruments included both unidimensional and multidimensional cancer pain measures. Findings: There were significant differences in cancer pain scores by country of birth. Yet there was no significant association of acculturation to cancer pain scores. Discussion and Conclusions: This study indicated inconsistent findings. Implications for Practice: To provide directions for adequate cancer pain management, further studies with a larger number of diverse groups of immigrant cancer patients are needed.

Key Words: acculturation • cancer pain • Asian • Hispanic
