Abstract: Patients with advanced cancer frequently experience significant symptom burden and psychosocial distress. Palliative care has evolved as a discipline that addresses many of these concerns. Yet, palliative care referrals remain delayed as patients continue to focus on cancer treatments. Using a car analogy, we propose that the two seemingly opposing goals of care—receipt of cancer therapies and symptom management—can be addressed concurrently under an integratedcare model.
Het doel van onze studie was om na te gaan hoe de oudere kankerpatiënt het slechtnieuwsgesprek op emotioneel gebied beleeft en anderzijds welke situationele factoren een invloed kunnen hebben op hun ervaring.
Het onderzoek liep over een periode van 10 maanden waarin 30 palliatieve kankerpatiënten een zelf samengestelde vragenlijst (18 items) aangeboden kregen tijdens opname in het ziekenhuis. De gemiddelde leeftijd was 78.7 jaar (SD = 7.23) en 58% van de patiënten waren mannen.
