Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study aims to explore the experiences of terminal cancer patients in consultation-based hospice and to understand their main concerns and wishes. Although consultation-based hospice was implemented in 2018 with the introduction of the Life Sustaining Treatment Decision Act, little is known about the actual experiences of patients. A thematic analysis was conducted by interviewing 10 participants in a tertiary hospital based in Seoul. Six main themes emerged from the analysis: perceptions on hospice, state of mind following admission into hospice, positive experiences, negative experiences, inner resources for coping, hopes and expectations. Based on these results, practical implications are discussed.
