碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 預防醫學研究所 / 90 / This pilot study is to establish the questionnaire concerning about the care needs and satisfaction of family caregivers of terminal cancer patients who received inpatient palliative care.
We revised the preliminary questinnaires from interviews with family caregivers by semi-constructive interview guide in a 17-bed palliative care unit. There are 38 items which contain care needs and needs satisfaction which both scored the priority by Likert-type scale (0~ 4). Sixty family caregivers were enrolled in our study after getting written informed consents between Feb. and May , 2002. Using factor analysis method, there are 5 main factors including information needs, personal needs, spiritual needs, material needs for patients and material needs for caregivers. The mean time of the interview for the caregivers is 8.2 day after the patients admission. Among these caregivers, there were 12 receiving retest with a mean time interval of 6.8 days. All 38 items of care needs and needs satisfaction are significantly correlated using a pair-t test analysis. The mean scores of needs satisfaction are less than those of care needs in all 5 factors, among them statistically significant differences occur in 3 factors including information needs, spiritual needs and material needs for patients. From these results, we recommend that pallitive care team must pay more attention to these three services to increase the satisfaction of family caregivers.
