ABSTRACT
Objectives:
The study purpose was to examine quality-of-life (QOL) of pediatric cancer patients at end-of-life and related factors using a QOL proxy rating scale from the nurse’s perspective.Methods:
We conducted a survey in October 2015−February 2016. The subjects to be surveyed were nurses who were primarily in charge of patients with childhood cancer at end-of-life. We investigated 22 items of the Good Death Inventory for Pediatrics (GDI-P) and their related factors.Results:
In total, 53 proxy evaluate questionnaires were completed from 18 centers. Among the eight factors of GDI-P, “Relief from physical and psychological suffering” was the lowest. The total score of GDI-P was positively correlated with the structure and process of care (r=0.58). Although there was a bias in the number of cases, in the case of the place of death was the intensive care unit, the total score of GDI-P was lower than home and the general ward.Conclusions:
It was suggested that the top priority in improving QOL was relief from suffering and the structure and process of care were related to QOL.
