Aim: To explore registered nurses' experiences with pain management in patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) in home care. Design: Qualitative explorative‐descriptive design. Methods: Data were collected via nine individual semi‐structured interviews with registered nurses working in home care meeting patients with OUD. Data were analysed using systematic text condensation. Results: Three categories were identified: Reciprocity in relationships and a professional approach enhance pain management; Discrepancies between guidelines, patient‐reported pain and RNs' observations challenge pain management; and Interprofessional collaboration makes or breaks pain management.
