| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness and practicality of a grief care program as an intervention for the families providing end-of-life care for cancer patients at home. There was a significant relationship between the presence and absence of intervention on the change in the total score of the GHQ28(p=0.020), and the Somatic Symptoms of GHQ28(p=0.021). And there was also significant difference in the physical health associated with poor conditions(p=0.000). The results of this study indicated that this intervention program is effective for families providing end-of-life care for cancer patients at home.
