Supportive Care in Cancer, 10/13/09
Chiu Y–W et al. – The results suggest that clinical professionals who care for terminal cancer patients and their caregivers should pay particular attention to caregivers with these predisposing factors.
Hung-Yi Chuang and Yu-Wen Chiu, 10/19/09
| We suggested that female gender, spouse relationship, parents–children relationship, lack of religious belief, unavailable family support, and history of mood co-morbidity were risk factors that would predispose towards complicated grief; whereas, longer duration of caring and medical disease history in the carer were factors that would mitigate against complicated grief. We thought that the readers of MDLinx may find it helpful as an alternative approach to provide a more comprehensive care for cancer patients and caregivers. |
