This study adds to the existing body of knowledge in palliative care especially in psychosocial aspects of community care.<br \/>\nDesign and Setting: Prior to pilot testing the psychosocial indicators for use in community palliative care, a twelve item framework in psychosocial care was developed and validated using the Delphi technique and group consensus from ten experts in community palliative care. The study setting was the community palliative care services consisting of multidisciplinary health professionals.<br \/>\nSubjects: A purposive sample of six participants comprising of palliative care nurses and allied health professionals participated in the pilot study. Using the psychosocial framework in community palliative care participant views on what constitutes psychosocial care in community palliative care was determined. Interview transcripts were the data sources that informed the pilot study.<br \/>\nMain outcome measure: The main outcome was the pilot study results validating the psychosocial framework consisting of 12 indicators in community palliative care. The study findings demonstrate the appropriateness of psychosocial indicators discerning patient and caregiver needs in community palliative care. All participants in the pilot study independently confirmed evidence of the 12 psychosocial indicators in their practice.<br \/>\nConclusion:&nbsp;The pilot study shows that by incorporating psychosocial care in community palliative care improves decision making in the terminally ill. The implication for practice is that psychosocial aspects of palliative care can indicate patient\u2019s care needs leading to better satisfaction.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Mary Oliver<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>Psychosocial indicators, community palliative care, health professionals, Delphi method<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: The relevance of psychosocial indicators in community palliative care: A pilot study Original Article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4917,4446,4918,4916],"class_list":["post-7600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-community-palliative-care","tag-delphi-method","tag-health-professionals","tag-psychosocial-indicators","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
