Projektets overordnede formål er at forbedre den basale palliative indsats til mennesker med livstruende sygdomme ved hjælp af pilottest af ”Spørgeskemaet om hvordan du har det” – et PRO Palliationsredskab.
Projektet er et feasibility-studie, der gennemføres i forbindelse med Sundhedsdatastyrelsens (SDS) evaluering af pilottest af PRO Palliation ultimo 2021-2022. Dataindsamlingen følger således SDS’ model for evaluering, men foregår i tæt samarbejde med nærværende forskningsprojekt for at sikre, at data også kan anvendes i forskningssammenhæng.
Datamaterialet vil bestå af kvalitative og kvantitative data:
REHPA har oprettet og står for en fælles REDCap forskningsbase under OPEN, Open Patient data Explorative Network, Odense Universitetshospital.

Evaluering af pilotafprøvning af PRO til basal palliation
I evalueringsrapporten præsenteres resultaterne fra pilotafprøvningen af PRO spørgeskemaet til basal palliation (herefter PRO Palliation-spørgeskemaet) udviklet af en klinisk koordinationsgruppe i regi af Sundhedsdatastyrelsen. PRO Palliation-spørgeskemaet blev udviklet for mennesker med livstruende kræft-, lunge-, hjerte- og nyresygdomme med hovedformål at screene for palliative behov indenfor palliation på basalt niveau. Sekundære formål var, at skemaet skulle bidrage til dialogstøtte og bedre behandling.

Målgruppe: Sundhedsprofessionelle der arbejder med patienter med kræft, KOL samt nyresygdom og i mindre grad med hjertepatienter og plejehjemsbeboere.
