Purpose: This study was conducted to understand public perception of home-based hospice and identify related factors.
Methods: Between August 19, 2014 and August 30, 2014, data were collected using an E-mail questionnaire that was filled by 1,500 adults who were over 20 years of age. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ2-test and logistic regression.
Results: Among the respondents, 15.9% were aware of home-based hospice care, and 61.3% were willing to receive home-based hospice care. The factors that influenced the participants’ willingness to use home-based hospice services included residential district, religion and private health insurance. Respondents who lived in Seoul (OR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.04∼2.33), Gwangju/Jeolla province (OR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.23∼3.32), Busan/Ulsan/South Gyeongsang province (OR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.17∼2.82) were more well-aware of home-based hospice care than those who lived in Incheon/Gyeonggi province. The faithful were more informed about the services than those without non-faithful participants (Roman Catholics (OR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.30∼3.17), Protestants (OR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.22∼2.53). Participants who had a private health insurance plan knew more about the services than those without one (OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.03∼2.04).
Conclusion: First, it is necessary to improve perception of the public and healthcare providers regarding home-based hospice care. The government should review a measure to institutionalize operation of a palliative care team at hospitals and community homebased hospice care centers.
