Cancer patients faced hindrances in seeking medical help. This caused stress and worry, leading to reduced quality of life (QoL). This study evaluated QoL and pain management in palliative care cancer patients during the lockdown. Patients and Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study at a tertiary cancer hospital, over one month period with convenience sampling. Participants included all who were unable to visit the palliative outpatient department during the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. They were contacted telephonically and a valid QoL questionnaire was filled out. Disease, demographic details and pain were assessed. Result(s): A total of 51 were interviewed, 45% (n = 23) patients reported difficult access to medication during the lockdown;18 (35.3%) required morphine to alleviate pain and 6 (33.33%) faced difficulty in acquiring morphine tablets. QoL scores did not differ based on access to morphine (p = 0.648). Mean QoL scores were 12.7 +/- 3.76 and 15.0 +/- 3.60 amongst patients who did not have access to other medications and those who did have access, respectively (p = 0.03). Overall QoL FACT G7 mean score was 14 +/- 3.8. The variables NRS (pain intensity) and QoL scores were found to be negatively correlated (Pearson's Correlation Coefficient: r (49) = -0.69, p < 0.00001). Conclusion(s): Evaluation of QoL of palliative care cancer patients during global crises plays an important role in the assessment of patients' overall condition as well as to maintain a continuum of care.Copyright © Via Medica.","PeriodicalId":19965,"journal":{"name":"Palliative Medicine in Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48034897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Website information on visiting policies at specialist in-patient palliative care settings during COVID-19 pandemic across Central and Eastern Europe: a quantitative and qualitative study","authors":"Filip Lebiedziński, L. Pawłowski, Joanna Jastrzębska, Alicja Świątek, M. Lichodziejewska-Niemierko","doi":"10.5603/pmpi.a2022.0023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5603/pmpi.a2022.0023","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, visiting policies in various healthcare centres across the world have changed. Visiting patients by relatives and friends have been stopped or significantly limited. New conditions and legal constraints for family visits had to be implemented also at in-patient palliative care settings, even though accompanying a dying person is crucial for the quality of the end of life. The study aimed to identify and review the visiting policies at in-patient specialist palliative care settings across Central and Eastern Europe. Patients and Methods: The study was conducted one year after the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak from May to October 2021. Information about visiting policies, published on official websites of the in-patient specialised palliative care settings (stationary hospices and hospital-based palliative care units) from Central and Eastern European countries, were identified and categorised. The websites which lacked information about visiting policy during the COVID-19 pandemic were excluded. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the obtained data was conducted by using content analysis techniques and descriptive analysis. The content from websites was translated into Polish with the usage of the Google Translate machine tool. Result(s): Data from 55 in-patient palliative care settings from 8 countries were collected and analysed (83.6% from Poland, and the other from Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine). In 43.6% of the organisations, visits were stopped and 56.4% of settings published information about the special requirements for visiting arrangements. In 32.7% of all examined units upfront approval from a physician or the head of a department for visiting a patient was required, and 29.1% published information about personal protective equipment. 32.7% of organizations recommended telephone contact with the patient, and 12.7% provided video calls. Conclusion(s): Web information regarding visiting patients in in-patient palliative care settings is limited. There is a need to establish detailed requirements for the visits with better access to the website for the visitors, in case of a global disease outbreak.Copyright © Via Medica, ISSN 2545-0425, e-ISSN: 2545-1359.","PeriodicalId":19965,"journal":{"name":"Palliative Medicine in Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47748961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
