Moreover, a significant portion of treatment for advanced cancer occurs in the home environment, so patient self-management becomes increasingly crucial for the effective treatment of cancer pain.<h4>Objectives</h4>To map self-management for pain in patients with cancer at all phases of the disease before examining the potential of pain self-care interventions for ill patients with cancer.<h4>Methods</h4>A search was conducted on six electronic databases to locate studies published in English, from 2013 to 2023. We followed Arskey and O'Malley's Scoping Reviews guidelines.<h4>Results</h4>This study thoroughly examined the provision of cancer pain self-management by healthcare professionals and identified four intervention types from 23 studies.
