简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the acceptability, safety and efficiency of the Palliate intervention.
The Palliate intervention is a nurse-led process that includes training and documentation materials to support lay carers in administering top up medications to loved ones at the end of life at home. The Palliate intervention was designed based on the CARiAD* intervention using user testing and has been successfully piloted and rolled out in Central and North West London National Health Service (NHS) Foundation Trust.
*CARer-ADministration of as-needed sub-cutaneous medication for breakthrough symptoms in homebased dying patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Acceptability
时间窗: Through study completion per participant (≤ 5 weeks)
Participant scores of acceptability of the intervention as per the responses on the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (TFA) questionnaire. Free text or verbal responses noted when completing the questionnaire will be thematically analysed as informed by the TFA. The TFA questionnaire is an eight-item questionnaire. Raw total scores range from 8 (the worst possible score) to 40 (the best possible score).
