Assessment of Quality of Life of Family Members of Inpatients with End-Stage Disease

Original language description

An important aim of palliative care is to ensure the highest possible quality of life (QoL) for the family members of patients. Aim: We aimed to determine the QoL of family members of hospitalized patients with end-stage disease, as well as differences in QoL based on socio-demographic characteristics and the patient's functional status,psychological distress, and QoL. Methods: Study participants were 292 family members of terminally ill patients at University Hospital, Ostrava, Czech Republic. To evaluate family members' QoL, we used the Quality of Life in Life-Threatening Illness Family Carer Version (QOLLTI-F). We used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) Scale to assess patients' functional status and psychological distress.
