Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Access to timely, age-appropriate palliative care services and end-of-life communication are two standards of care for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) living with cancer where cure is uncertain or unlikely. Health professionals’ capacity to facilitate these standards is critical. This study aimed to understand AYA oncology health professionals’ experienced practices in, and barriers to, delivering these standards of care across palliative care and end-of-life communication in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom (UK).
