| description | Aims
To explore the integration and delivery of oncology led referrals to palliative care (PC) by examining physician
attitudes and referral practices.
Methods
An online survey was circulated to oncologists and PC physicians in Ireland.
Results
The study (N = 100) comprised sixty-nine oncologists (69%) and thirty-one PC physicians (31%). Ninety-two(92%)
believe patients with advanced cancer should receive concurrent treatment, however only 53% of oncologists(N =
37) routinely refer. Regarding end-of-life (EOL) care: 81% of oncologists (N = 55) are directly involved in its
administration, despite 84% (N = 53) agreeing patients benefit when PC specialists coordinate EOL care.
Conclusion
The gulf between positive attitudes and limited implementation suggests the need for interdisciplinary changes to
facilitate integration of PC in clinical practice in Ireland. |
