Family Functioning Predicts End-of-Life Care Quality in Patients With Cancer: Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Treating patients with cancer within a family setting is the accepted standard of care and a hallmark of end-of-life (EoL) quality of care (QoC). OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to determine whether family caregiver functioning predicts EoL QoC received by terminally ill patients with cancer. METHODS:Family caregivers of terminally ill patients with cancer (n = 264) were enrolled from oncology inpatient and outpatient units of 12 large hospitals located in different regions throughout South Korea. Caregivers were administered self-reported questionnaires about family functioning and EoL QoC at the time of an incurable cancer diagnosis, 4 to 6 weeks later, and again 2 to 3 months later. Family functioning and QoC were measured using the family Apgar and Quality Care Questionnaire-End of Life scales, respectively. RESULTS:Improved adaptability to resource sharing and attention received predicted improved family relationships for the 3 time points. Increased participation in decision making and communication predicted improved individualized care and family relationships for the 3 time points. Increased affection predicted improvements in dignity-conserving care and family relationships for the 3 time points. Improved resolution regarding sharing time and satisfaction with commitments predicted increases in all QoC domains for the 3 time points, including dignity-conserving care, care by healthcare professionals, individualized care, and family relationships. CONCLUSIONS:Family functioning may contribute to improved EoL QoC of patients with terminal cancer. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE:Patients' family caregivers are a valued source of affection and communicative support, improving EoL QoC. More family-oriented cancer support systems can better maintain the effectiveness of QoC until EoL.
