Decision-Making Preferences among Advanced Cancer Patients in a Palliative Setting in Jordan
Understanding patients’ decision-making preferences is crucial for enhancing patients’ outcomes. The current study aims to identify Jordanian advanced cancer patients’ preferred decision-making and to explore the associated variables of the passive decision-making preference. We used a cross-sectional survey design. Patients with advanced cancer referred to the palliative care clinic at a tertiary cancer center were recruited. We measured patient…
Bereaved Parent Perspectives on End-of-Life Conversations in Pediatric Oncology
Bereaved parents emphasize the need for providers to have ongoing honest conversations that support realism and hope that can help them to best prepare for their child's end of life and to remain in contact with them after death
Symptom and Illness Experience for English and Spanish-Speaking Children with Advanced Cancer
Understanding the symptom and illness experience of children with advanced cancer facilitates quality care; yet, obtaining this understanding is complicated by the child's developmental level and physical and psychological health factors that affect communication. The purpose of this study was to describe the symptom and illness experience of English- and Spanish-speaking children with advanced cancer as described by the child and parent. We cond…
A Qualitative Study on Nudging and Palliative Care
The debate about the ethical decision-making process in the healthcare context has been enriched with a theory called "nudging", which has been defined as the framing of information that can significantly influence behaviour without restricting choice. The literature shows very limited data on the opinion and experience of palliative care healthcare professionals on the use of nudging techniques in their care setting. The aim of this study is to …

CONTEXT: The International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care developed a consensus-based definition of palliative care (PC) that focuses on the relief of serious health-related suffering, a concept put forward by the Lancet Commission Global Access to Palliative Care and Pain Relief. OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this article is to present the research behind the new definition. METHODS: The three-phased consensus process involved he…
Independent Research on Cancer Pain Management in the Setting of Early Palliative Care
The increased recognition of the high prevalence and important burden of cancer pain and the documentation of a large proportion of patients receiving inadequate analgesic treatment should have reinforced the need for evidence-based recommendations. The World health Organization (WHO) guidelines on cancer pain management-or palliative care-are traditionally based on a sequential, three-step, analgesic ladder according to pain intensity: nonopioid…

Benefits of Early Palliative Care to Informal Family Caregivers (DRAFT)
This chapter summarizes the Dionne-Odom et al. randomized controlled trial evaluating the benefits of an early, nurse-led palliative care intervention to caregivers of patients with advanced cancer. The study examined the impact of early (at diagnosis) versus delayed (12 weeks later) intervention on caregiver quality of life, depressed mood, and burden. The study showed that early intervention caregivers had lower depression scores at three month…
