Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this study was to develop brief quality indicators of home palliative care. We surveyed 911 terminally ill cancer patients in 16 home palliative care clinics by chart review and 175 of bereaved family members of those by questionnaire. We could not develop the brief quality indicators because we did not find any remarkable factor associated end-of-life quality of life. However, we could develop brief questionnaire to assess home palliative care, examine factors associated with home death, quality of home care and care burden.
