Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Hope is important to palliative home care patients. Our research team has developed a Living with Hope Program that has been found to increase hope and quality of life in older persons with advanced cancer. The investigators want to know if this program increases hope and quality of life for all palliative home care patients (all ages, all diagnosis). Thirty palliative home care patients and their care partners will participate in this pilot study to evaluate the study procedures and the living with hope program.
