Physicians’ opiophobia: a cross-sectional study on knowledge, attitude and behaviour
Opiophobia contributes to inadequate opioid prescribing, resulting in insufficient pain management for patients. Our findings demonstrate that opiophobia is associated with fear of addiction and lack of knowledge. Regular training in pain management appears to be the most crucial step in reducing opiophobia among physicians.
