The study sought to research and develops a universal palliative care measurement tool that will track the performance of informal caregivers to dying persons across the diversity of the South African cultural and religious groupings.
The major inferences drawn from this study was that a generic domain, sub-items and intervals could be identified for palliative care; that a reliable measurement tool could be developed and that outcomes of care programs for dying persons in terms of effectiveness and efficiency could be numerically quantified.
With the ability to measure now been realised, the ability to manage the outcomes became the new challenge. / Nursing Sciences / M.A. (Health Studies)
