Caregiver Assessments of the Quality of Home Hospice Care

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Advanced Cancer

In brief

The Objectives are to administer the Family Evaluation of Hospice Care (FEHC) questionnaire and The Texas Revised Inventory of Grief (TRIG) to caregivers previously enrolled into the parent grant and conduct supplemental analyses to: 1. examine cross-ethnic differences in the caregivers' quality of hospice care assessments. 2. investigate the association between parenteral hydration status of the patient and the quality of care assessments provided by the caregivers after death. 3. examine the association between levels of grief (as measured by the TRIG) and the quality of hospice care assessments provided by the caregiver.
