Cultivating Relationship-Centered Care
Prognostic conversations present many challenges for patients, caregivers, and providers alike. Most research examining the context of prognostic conversations have used a more siloed approach to gather the range of perspectives of those involved, typically through the lens of patient-centered care. However, the mutual influence evident in prognostic conversations suggests a relationship-centered care model may be useful in cancer communication r…
Remote Symptom Monitoring to Enhance the Delivery of Palliative Cancer Care in Low-Resource Settings
This paper brings together researchers, clinicians, technology developers and digital innovators to outline current applications of remote symptom monitoring being developed for palliative cancer care delivery in Africa. We outline three remote symptom monitoring approaches from three countries, highlighting their models of delivery and intended outcomes, and draw on their experiences of implementation to guide further developments and evaluation…
Integrating Patient and Expert Perspectives to Conceptualize High-Quality Palliative Cancer Care for Symptoms in the US Veterans Health Administration
Quality measurement is typically the domain of clinical experts and health system leaders; patient/caregiver perspectives are rarely solicited.

We conducted a secondary qualitative analy…
Alleviating the access abyss in palliative care and pain relief—an imperative of universal health coverage
Gender Differences in Use of Complementary and Integrative Health by U.S. Military Veterans with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain

These conditions place an additional burden on disadvantaged populations which can cause distress, especiall…
Changes in symptoms and health-related quality of life in a nationally representative sample of adults in treatment for HIV
