Detaljeret beskrivelse
A life review program is mainly developed based on Erickson's theory, Confucius's teaching on human development, and the empirical findings of the researcher's preliminary study and pre-pilot study.
The program covers reviewing a life for advanced cancer patients and formulating a booklet for them.
A randomized controlled trial will be adopted for evaluation of this program.
Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group.
The subjects in the experimental group will receive a life review program for three weeks.
The outcome measure is quality of life (QOL), including domains of physical discomfort, food-related concerns, health care concerns, support, negative emotions, sense of alienation, existential distress and value of life.
Subjects' QOL will be assessed before commencement of the program (T0) and one day (T1) and three weeks (T2) after the completion of the program for all subjects in two groups.
Perceptions of the program will be elicited within three days after the program for subjects in the experimental group.Descriptive statistics will be used to analyze patients' personal information, disease related information, functional performance and QOL of advanced cancer patients.
Repeated measures ANOVA will be used to measure QOL differences in between-group, within-group and interaction effects.
Content analysis will be used to analyze the qualitative data collected.
