Abstract

Two parallel questionnaires were used to explore perceptions of health-care workers (HCWs) and the relatives of terminally ill patients on the quality of care received by the patients. There was general agreement between the two groups of respondents in most of the assessed areas. The relatives, however, were more satisfied with the control of pain and psychological symptoms than the HCWs, and the HCWs perceived the control of diarrhea, skin problems, and swallowing problems more positively than did the relatives. There also was some variation between the two groups in their perception of the care received by the relatives during visits at the hospital, with the relatives’ group being more positive. Although HCWs reported that time to deal with patients and their families was inadequate, the relatives’ group was generally satisfied with the standards in place.
亲属和卫生保健工作者在英国临终病人护理方面的观点
采用两份平行调查问卷,探讨卫生保健工作者(HCWs)和绝症患者家属对患者接受的护理质量的看法。在大多数被评估的领域,两组答复者之间的意见普遍一致。然而,家属对疼痛和心理症状的控制比健康护理人员更满意,健康护理人员对腹泻、皮肤问题和吞咽问题的控制比健康护理人员更积极。两组对亲属在医院就诊期间得到的照顾的看法也有一些差异,亲属组更积极。虽然卫生保健员报告说,与病人及其家属打交道的时间不足,但家属小组总体上对现有的标准感到满意。
