Needs based palliative care: Evaluation of the Palliative Care Needs Assessment Guidelines and Palliative Care Needs Ass [ 2008 - 2009 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Amy Waller (Principal investigator)

Brief description People with cancer and their caregivers may have a range of unmet physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. Unfortunately, not everybody receives the type of help they need with these issues, or at the time they most need it. In this study, we will assess the extent to which recently developed Palliative Care Needs Assessment Guidelines and a Needs Assessment Tool help to a) identify those advanced cancer patients and caregivers who have unmet needs and b) ensure they are offered the care that best matches their levels and types of need at the time they most need it.
