简要总结
The primary purpose of this study is to validate the prognostic screening tool from The Aarhus Bereavement Study (TABS) and to implement a systematic support for relatives of palliative care patients in order to prevent the development of prolonged grief disorder. Depending on their identified support needs, the relatives are offered different interventions. It is evaluated whether this procedure of screening and intervening are able to reduce the risk of developing prolonged grief disorder.
详细描述
PRIMARY OUTCOME: identification of the support needs of relatives of palliative care patients
SECONDARY OUTCOME: evaluation of the initiated interventions and whether these are able to reduce the risk of developing prolonged grief disorder
PARTICIPANTS: Relatives (age 18-90) of patients affiliated with specialized palliative care in The Capital Region of Denmark.
The relatives will complete a survey and prognostic screening tool at respectively 2 weeks (T1) and every 6 months (T2) from the time that the patients is affiliated to the specialized palliative care and until the death of the patient. This will happen regardless the status of the patient - that is, whether or not the patient continues being affiliated with specialized palliative care, or the patient is being referred to another palliative care units or doesn't need palliative care anymore.
Furthermore the relatives will complete a follow-up survey and the diagnostic questionnaire PGD-13 at respectively 6 months (T3) and 18 months (T4) after the death of the patient (post loss). It will be evaluated whether there are any diffences in the grief symptoms of relatives of patients with a malign versus non-malign disease. It will also be evaluated whether there is an association between the intervention the relatives received from the palliative care unit at Rigshospital and their grief symptoms post loss.
