Abstract：
CONTEXT:There is an increasing use of palliative care units (PCUs) for the treatment of terminally ill cancer patients. Thus, it is important to evaluate the care and quality of life of terminally ill cancer patients treated in PCUs so that improvements can be made. Limited research has investigated the quality of dying and death in PCUs. OBJECTIVES:The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with the quality of dying and death for terminally ill cancer patients in PCUs. METHODS:Data were collected from 570 bereaved family caregivers of terminally ill cancer patients. All patients were registered and died in one of the 40 inpatient PCUs designated by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare. We assessed the perceived timing of referral to a PCU; the quality of end-of-life cancer care with the Care Evaluation Scale; and the quality of dying and death with the Good Death Inventory. RESULTS:The perception of appropriate timing of referral, use of a community-based PCU, and higher quality of cancer care as assessed by the Care Evaluation Scale were associated with good dying and death in all domains of the Good Death Inventory. CONCLUSION:The good quality of end-of-life care in a PCU improves the quality of dying in terminally ill cancer patients. The data have the potential to guide the development of interventions aimed at achieving a good quality of dying for patients with terminal cancer.
