Abstract

To evaluate the family members' psychosocial support during specialist palliative inpatient care. Cross-sectional study. The "Family Involvement Scale-Psychosocial Support in Palliative Inpatient Care" (FIS-PS-InPal) questionnaire was used to collect data from family members from specialized palliative care wards across Finland. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. In total, 171 family members from 16 wards across Finland participated in the study. Family members evaluated the support they received as close to ideal, with 19.9% of participants reporting that the support was less than desired. They rated psycho-emotional support and support practices as the strongest and informational support as the weakest. The psychosocial support that family members receive in specialist palliative care is generally adequate. However, efforts should be made to improve how information is communicated. The study underscores the importance of evaluating and addressing the unique support implementation for families in palliative care.

姑息住院病人家属的社会心理支持：一项横断面研究。

评估姑息专科住院治疗期间家庭成员的心理社会支持情况。横断面研究。采用“家庭参与量表-姑息治疗住院患者的社会心理支持”（FIS-PS-InPal）问卷收集芬兰各地姑息治疗专科病房家庭成员的数据。数据分析采用描述性统计。共有来自芬兰16个病房的171名家庭成员参与了这项研究。家庭成员评价他们得到的支持接近理想，19.9%的参与者报告说支持比期望的要少。他们认为心理情感支持和支持实践是最强的，信息支持是最弱的。家庭成员在专科姑息治疗中得到的社会心理支持通常是充分的。但是，应当努力改进信息的传播方式。该研究强调了评估和解决姑息治疗中对家庭的独特支持实施的重要性。
