A survey instrument asked how frequently internal medicine and family practice physicians performed 10 palliative care items. Subjects rated their skills in each area. A majority of physicians always or frequently performed all 10 palliative care items, but fewer than 50% of respondents adequately attended to the spiritual needs and economic problems of patients. Interest in palliative care was associated with an increased frequency in performing palliative care items (P = 0.036), while training in palliative care was associated with better perceived performance (P = 0.05). Only 36% of respondents had received training in palliative care. Internists and family practitioners provide palliative care to patients, but feel their skills are lacking in certain areas. Training may improve care to patients at the end of life. 2004 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2004.01.013" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2004.01.013</a> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Article information provided for research and reference use only.

Title A name given to the resource Methodological challenges for measuring quality of care at the end of life Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Journal Of Pain And Symptom Management Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1999 Subject The topic of the resource Humans; Research Design; Quality of Life/psychology; Quality Assurance; Terminal Care/standards; Health Care/methods; Health Care/statistics & numerical data Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Fowler FJ; Coppola KM; Teno JM Description An account of the resource Measurement is a fundamental step in improving the quality of care for dying patients and their families. Yet, there are important methodological challenges to be addressed. In conducting surveys about the patient and family experience, research is needed regarding the relative merits and cost-effectiveness of prospective or retrospective surveys after the patient’s death. Proxies are an important source of information given that the majority of patients can not be interviewed in the last week of life. Research is needed to understand who is best able to serve as a proxy and the validity of their reports. The cost-effectiveness and comparability of alternative data collection strategies need to be examined. These and other important issues need to be addressed in designing reliable, valid, and clinically manageable measures. 1999 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://doi.org/10.1016/s0885-3924(98)00133-x" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">10.1016/s0885-3924(98)00133-x</a> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Article information provided for research and reference use only.
