Further, 85% of nurses indicated that <50% of patients understand the estimate. The most frequent reason nurses perceived doctors did not provide an estimate of life expectancy was because the doctor didn’t have an accurate idea of life expectancy (80.8%). Almost one-fifth of nurses (18.3%) thought that doctors did not provide estimates because they felt it was not their responsibility to do so. Conclusions: Strategies to ensure a patient-centred approach to life expectancy discussions with patients with advanced cancer are urgently needed. Impact statement: Oncology nurses perceive that many patients with advanced cancer are not provided with an accurate estimate of their life expectancy and few understand the information provided to them.]]> Wed 23 Aug 2023 17:31:04 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51820 Wed 20 Sep 2023 10:00:10 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51821 Wed 20 Sep 2023 09:59:54 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33518 Wed 14 Nov 2018 14:00:22 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47088 Wed 14 Dec 2022 09:30:23 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28168 Wed 13 Mar 2024 18:28:06 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24368 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:16:22 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14646 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:18:26 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14195 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:36:28 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23231 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:41:44 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30022 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:14:00 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48754 Wed 05 Apr 2023 13:48:37 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44739 Wed 03 May 2023 13:55:37 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39962 Wed 01 Mar 2023 10:26:05 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49751 Tue 30 May 2023 17:07:50 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43725 30 years were four times more likely to have high knowledge of triggers for completing resuscitation plans (odds ratio 4.28 (95% confidence interval 1.54–11.89); P = 0.0053).

There are a number of gaps in the body of research examining burden and unmet needs of caregivers of individuals with COPD that preclude the development of effective interventions for this population.

Study setting: Three major oncology treatment centres in NSW, Australia. Study design: Between March 2007 and December 2009, 219 people with advanced cancer were recruited to complete bi-monthly telephone interviews. The intervention, introduced after at least two baseline interviews, involved training health professionals to complete the NAT: PD-C with patients approximately monthly. Data collection: Rates of service use and referrals were compared pre- and post-introduction of the NAT: PD-C. Rates of completion of the tool; its impact on consultation length; and the types of needs and follow-up care to address these were also assessed. Principal findings: The NAT: PD-C had a high rate of completion; identified needs consistent with those self-reported by patients in interviews; and did not alter consultation length. No changes in the number of health professionals seen by patients were found pre- and post-intervention. Conclusion: The NAT: PD-C is an efficient and acceptable strategy for supporting needs-based cancer care that can potentially be incorporated into standard routine care without increasing the burden on care providers.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:35 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22663 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:39 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23443 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:12:54 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23999 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:22 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30020 Mon 30 Apr 2018 15:43:49 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38299 p < 0.01).

Rates of completion of an ACD and appointment of an EG were 20% (n = 37) and 35% (n = 67) respectively. The most common reason for non-completion of an ACD and not appointing an EG was: 'didn't think I needed this'. Younger age was associated with not having appointed an EG (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.2-12.1, P = 0.02). No sociodemographic characteristics were significantly associated with non-completion of ACDs.
