Abstract
Background: Structures of palliative care, cross-sectoral transitions and care pathways of patients with palliative care needs were investigated at two sites. The systematic comparison of similarities and differences using the topic of 'pain' as an example is intended to provide information on the extent to which these are related to site-specific palliative care concepts (integrated and cooperative).
Methods: The study follows a mixed-methods design. In addition to a document analysis of anonymised patient records (n = 774), expert interviews (n = 20), as well as interviews with patients, relatives (n = 60) and focus groups (n = 12), were conducted.
Results: The systematic comparative analysis provides evidence for concept-independent commonalities (e.g. sociodemographic distribution, aggravated pain treatment) as well as concept-dependent differences (e.g. care pathways, facilitated continuous symptom control through integrated care structures) in the context of integrated or cooperative palliative care.
Discussion: Commonalities and differences with regard to the topic of pain, as focused on here, and its organisational management become tangible as effects of the respective organisational structure (= concept-dependent) as well as concept-independent external influencing factors.
期刊介绍:
Der Schmerz is an internationally recognized journal and addresses all scientists, practitioners and psychologists, dealing with the treatment of pain patients or working in pain research. The aim of the journal is to enhance the treatment of pain patients in the long run.
Review articles provide an overview on selected topics and offer the reader a summary of current findings from all fields of pain research, pain management and pain symptom management.
Freely submitted original papers allow the presentation of important clinical studies and serve the scientific exchange.
Case reports feature interesting cases and aim at optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Review articles under the rubric ''Continuing Medical Education'' present verified results of scientific research and their integration into daily practice.
