Abstract
Palliative care (PC) is one of the necessary cares given throughout a patient's experience with cancer. The aim of this study was to identify the perceived factors to providing PC for patients with cancer. Our study was a systematic review of qualitative literature. To this end, electronic databases, including CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, Ovid, and Web of Science as well as Persian databases were searched and qualitative studies on the role of PC in patients with cancer published between Jan 2008 and Dec 2017 were selected. Generally, 12 studies were reviewed. A thematic synthesis approach was used to analyze the data. Exploring the selected articles, the findings on the perceived factors to providing PC for patients with cancer were categorized into three themes, including organizational factors, ethical factors, and psychological factors. This qualitative systematic review expands our knowledge about factors influencing the provision of PC for patients with cancer. It is necessary for health system managers and caregivers to pay attention to all aforesaid factors in order to improve PC for cancer patients.
姑息治疗(PC)是贯穿患者癌症经历的必要护理之一。本研究的目的是找出癌症患者提供PC的感知因素。我们的研究是对定性文献的系统回顾。为此,检索了包括CINAHL、PubMed、PsycINFO、Ovid和Web of Science在内的电子数据库以及波斯数据库,并选择了2008年1月至2017年12月期间发表的关于PC在癌症患者中的作用的定性研究。总共回顾了12项研究。采用专题综合方法对数据进行分析。通过对所选文章的梳理,将为癌症患者提供PC的感知因素分为组织因素、伦理因素和心理因素三个主题。这一定性系统评价扩展了我们对影响癌症患者提供PC的因素的认识。为了提高癌症患者的PC水平,卫生系统管理者和护理人员有必要重视上述因素。
