Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Specialized palliative care (SPC) plays an important role in providing patient-centered care and support to informal caregiver, besides establishing/intensifying/coordinating collaboration with primary and secondary health care sectors (hospital nurse/district nurse and general practitioner/oncologist) to improve care and support for patients and burdened informal caregiver. This study proposes to develop a SPC intervention enriched with a dyadic psychological intervention for patients with advanced cancer and their informal caregiver delivered by telemedicine at home (TeleSPC). It is our hypothesis that the intervention can enhance patient-centered care at home, support their informal caregiver, and improve relations/integration between the SPC teams, oncologic teams, the general practitioners and district nurses.
