More patients preferred the two 20-min rather than the one 40-min consultation format (55% vs 45%, z = 4.284, p < 0.01). Information content did not influence choice. Age, cancer type, and patient-perceived prognosis were not associated with preferences. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should assess cancer patients' preferences for engaging in life expectancy discussions as soon as they have this information, and ensure patients have adequate time to consider the information they receive, seek additional information and involve others if they wish.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:49:00 AEDT ]]> Improving hospital-based end of life care processes and outcomes: a systematic review of research output, quality and effectiveness https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30820 Fri 10 Mar 2023 17:05:44 AEDT ]]>
