Objective: This study aims to assess the adequacy of cancer-related pain management, pain interference in daily activity, and associated factors among cancer patients in Northwestern Ethiopia Method: A hospital-based multicenter cross-sectional study design was conducted at Northwestern Ethiopia from May to July 2022. A systematic random sampling technique were employed in cancer patients to select representatives from each study area. Data were analysed using SPSS version 26 software and descriptions of variables was done by using frequencies and proportion. Bivariate and ordinal logistic regression analysis were conducted to determine independent predictors of adequacy of cancer-related pain management and interference of cancerrelated pain in daily activities. A p-value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. .Results: More than half of the patients (249 (59%)) were females. All the participants experience cancer-relate pain with varying degree of severity. About 67.5% of the participants received adequate pain management (CI; 62.8-72). Patients with good performance status and previous history of pain had inadequate pain management. And (98.8%) of participant have interference of cancer-related pain in daily functioning. Patients with metastasis, history of pain and female were predictors of interference of cancer-related pain in one or more daily activities. Conclusion; Using pain management index status 67.5% of the patients in Northwestern Ethiopia suffering from Cancer-related pain receive adequate pain treatments and almost all (98.8%) of the patients had interference with one or more daily activities as a result of cancer-related pain. History of pain, performance status, and comorbidity were determinants of cancer pain treatment adequacy while Gender, History of pain and metastasis were identified as determinants of interference of daily activity due to cancer-related pain Keywords: cancer-related pain, analgesic, pain management index en_US
