Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare the treatment given to cancer patients in intensive care units (ICUs) who require or do not require hospice care.

Materials and methods: A descriptive retrospective design was used. A total of 193 files were reviewed for admitted cancer patients.

Results: Individuals requiring hospice care had longer hospital stays (t=1.22, p<.05) and were less likely to be sent to palliative care (X2= 183.5, p<.05). The majority of patients were intubated (72.4%), got intravenous hydration (84.5%), and received antibiotics (81.3%). There was a statistically significant difference in the fluid administration (X2= 1.76, p<.05), antibiotic administration (X2= 1.64, p<.05), and mechanical ventilation (X2= 2.71, p<.05) between individuals who require hospice care and those who do not.

Conclusion: It is necessary to enhance the dialogue between doctors, patients, and caregivers regarding peaceful death and reduce unnecessary treatment.
