Summary
This study developed a 14-step program to improve palliative cancer care implementation. Cross-sectoral networking and facilitator support were key, enhancing collaboration and care quality for cancer patients.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Palliative Care
- Healthcare Implementation Science
Background:
- Implementing palliative care for cancer patients is challenging, with many not receiving timely, tailored support.
- This can negatively impact patient quality of life.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an Implementation Program for national general palliative cancer care guidelines.
- To assess the acceptability and feasibility of proposed implementation strategies among healthcare professionals.
Main Methods:
- A participatory action research approach guided program development.
- A qualitative descriptive design evaluated strategy acceptability and feasibility.
- Content Analysis was used on data from 31 healthcare professionals (Nov 2021-Mar 2023).
Main Results:
- A 14-step Implementation Program was created.
- Cross-sectoral networking and facilitator support were deemed acceptable and feasible.
- Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles were identified as problematic.
Conclusions:
- The study successfully involved cross-sectoral professionals in developing a palliative cancer care Implementation Program.
- Networking emerged as a vital, stand-alone implementation strategy.
