| Research Abstract |
This study aimed at the development of the evaluation index of palliative care for the elderly with both cancer and dementia. Our research methods were literature documentation, a nation-wide questionnaire survey of palliative care unit, interview with expert nurses, observations at palliative care centers in Sweden and at daycare centers for the elderly with dementia in Japan. The results suggested seven major elements that affect the quality of care, a conceptual framework for the quality evaluation, and some ethical issues that should be taken into account in palliative care for the elderly with both cancer and dementia. As a product of the study, we established a provisional version of the index.
