Determinants of primary and non‐primary informal care‐giving to home‐based palliative care cancer care‐recipients in Ontario, Canada
Informal care plays an important role in the care of care-recipients. Most of the previous studies focused on the primary caregivers and ignored the importance of non-primary caregivers. Moreover, little is known about the provision of informal care in the context of home-based palliative care. The purpose of this study was to examine the provision of primary and non-primary informal care-giving and their respective determinants. Primary caregive…
Where Do Cancer Patients in Receipt of Home-Based Palliative Care Prefer to Die and What Are the Determinants of a Preference for a Home Death
Understanding the preferred place of death may assist to organize and deliver palliative health care services. The study aims to assess preference for place of death among cancer patients in receipt of home-based palliative care, and to determine the variables that affect their preference for a home death. A prospective cohort design was carried out from July 2010 to August 2012. Over the course of their palliative care trajectory, a total of 303…
Temporal trends in place of death for end‐of‐life patients: Evidence from Toronto, Canada
Understanding the temporal trends in the place of death among patients in receipt of home-based palliative care can help direct health policies and planning of health resources. This paper aims to assess the temporal trends in place of death and its determinants over the past decade for patients receiving home-based palliative care. This paper also examines the impact of early referral to home-based palliative care services on patient's place of …
Assessing care-giving demands, resources and costs of family/friend caregivers for persons with mental health disorders: A scoping review
As mental health (MH) care has shifted from institutional settings to the community, families and friends are responsible for providing the majority of the care at home. The substantial literature on the adverse effects experienced by caregivers has focused mainly on psychological morbidity. Less attention has been paid to how caregivers for persons with MH disorders interact with larger social systems and the impacts of factors such as financial…
Does informal care impact utilisation of home-based formal care services among end-of-life patients? A decade of evidence from Ontario, Canada
Understanding how informal care impacts formal care utilisation for home-based end-of-life patients is an important policy- and practice-relevant question. This paper aims to assess the relationship between informal and formal home care among home-based end-of-life patients and how this relationship has changed over the last decade and over the end-of-life trajectory. We focus on informal care provided by family members or friends, and three type…
Socioeconomic Differences in and Predictors of Home-Based Palliative Care Health Service Use in Ontario, Canada
The use of health services may vary across people with different socioeconomic statuses, and may be determined by many factors. The purposes of this study were (i) to examine the socioeconomic differences in the propensity and intensity of use for three main home-based health services, that is, home-based palliative care physician visits, nurse visits and personal support worker (PSW) hours; and (ii) to explore the determinants of the use of home…
Utilisation of home-based physician, nurse and personal support worker services within a palliative care programme in Ontario, Canada: Trends over 2005-2015
With health system restructuring in Canada and a general preference by care recipients and their families to receive palliative care at home, attention to home-based palliative care continues to increase. A multidisciplinary team of health professionals is the most common delivery model for home-based palliative care in Canada. However, little is known about the changing temporal trends in the propensity and intensity of home-based palliative car…
Predictors of caregiver burden across the home-based palliative care trajectory in Ontario, Canada
Family caregivers of patients enrolled in home-based palliative care programmes provide unpaid care and assistance with daily activities to terminally ill family members. Caregivers often experience caregiver burden, which is an important predictor of anxiety and depression that can extend into bereavement. We conducted a longitudinal, prospective cohort study to comprehensively assess modifiable and non-modifiable patient and caregiver factors t…
Societal costs of home and hospital end-of-life care for palliative care patients in Ontario, Canada
In Canada, health system restructuring has led to a greater focus on home-based palliative care as an alternative to institutionalised palliative care. However, little is known about the effect of this change on end-of-life care costs and the extent to which the financial burden of care has shifted from the acute care public sector to families. The purpose of this study was to assess the societal costs of end-of-life care associated with two plac…
The magnitude, share and determinants of unpaid care costs for home-based palliative care service provision in Toronto, Canada
With increasing emphasis on the provision of home-based palliative care in Canada, economic evaluation is warranted, given its tremendous demands on family caregivers. Despite this, very little is known about the economic outcomes associated with home-based unpaid care-giving at the end of life. The aims of this study were to (i) assess the magnitude and share of unpaid care costs in total healthcare costs for home-based palliative care patients,…
Costs and determinants of privately financed home-based health care in Ontario, Canada: Privately financed home-based care
The Canadian context in which home-based healthcare services are delivered is characterised by limited resources and escalating healthcare costs. As a result, a financing shift has occurred, whereby care recipients receive a mixture of publicly and privately financed home-based services. Although ensuring that care recipients receive efficient and equitable care is crucial, a limited understanding of the economic outcomes and determinants of priv…
