Assessing the Relevance of the Patient Dignity Inventory in Identifying Distress and Influencing Clinical Care in Palliative Care
FY 2008-09
Summary
This project is intended to demonstrate the ability of a novel psychometric, coined the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI), to identity and begin to address distress in palliative care. The aims of this study are as follows: 1) to examine and compare the prevalence of distress across inpatient and outpatient palliative care settings; 2) to determine the extent to which these sources of distress have been revealed to others, such as health care providers, family and friends; 3) to examine what patients feel would be helpful in terms of mitigating their distress; and 4) to solicit feedback from health care providers regarding the information provided by way of the PDI.
