Palliative day care centres: a family physician's view. 01/01/2003 - 31/12/2003

Abstract

As an experiment, the Belgian Health Care Organization erected a few Palliative day care centers (PDCC). They should increase continuity between in-patient and home care settings and ease the burden of responsibility on the family. PDCC provide facilities for medical, psychological, social and spiritual activities. Their ultimate goal is to guarantee patient's quality of life. Unfortunately, few patients find their way to the PDCC. Are these PDCC unknown among patients' family physician? What are the (dis) advantages of PDCC according to the family physicians? A quantitative study (i.e. postal questionnaire) explores their opinions.
