Overview

Cross-sectional study assessed psychosocial support among family members in palliative care, indicating room for enhancing communication.

Key Points

  • Family members reported their psychosocial support as generally adequate in palliative inpatient care, with some areas for improvement.
  • 19.9% of participants felt that the support they received was less than desired, highlighting the need for better information exchange.
  • The strongest support identified was psycho-emotional, while informational support was rated as the weakest aspect of care.
  • Data was collected using the FIS-PS-InPal questionnaire from 171 family members across 16 specialized palliative wards in Finland.
