ABSTRACT
Purpose:
This study aimed to analyze the terminal care attitudes of healthcare members engaged in palliative care and the factors associated with these attitudes.Methods:
We conducted a survey for healthcare members engaging in palliative care including oncologists and palliative care doctors using the Japanese version of the Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying (FATCOD B-J), a scale that measures the attitude of medical stuff toward the care of dying patients.Results:
A total of 223 (response rate=42.2%) responses were obtained and analyzed. Multiple regression analysis using the FATCOD B-J total score as the objective variable showed that 30s had lower partial regression coefficients than 40s (−3.8). Higher “satisfaction from work” and “interest in palliative care” were associated with greater partial regression coefficients (+5.7, +6.2).Conclusion:
A sense of satisfaction and interest in palliative care may be important to cultivate terminal care attitudes among health care providers involved in palliative care.
