最近的临终关怀文献已经开始关注临终关怀角色对临终关怀患者照顾者生活质量（QOL）的负面影响。密苏里州远程临终关怀项目目前正在调查通信技术（远程临终关怀）的影响，以提高临终关怀照顾者的生活质量。本研究摘要是一项大型远程临终关怀研究的一小部分，旨在研究可视电话技术对临终关怀护理人员生活质量的影响。由于较大的远程临终关怀项目的地理覆盖范围较广，因此一些护理人员评估也可能是基于电话的（Demiris等人，2004）。由于其简洁性（四个项目）和先前建立的可靠性和有效性，选择照顾者生活质量指数（CQLI）来衡量照顾者的生活质量（McMillan & Mahon 1994）。
Recent hospice literature has begun to focus on the negative effects of the caregiving role on the quality of life (QOL) of hospice patient caregivers. The Missouri Telehospice Project is currently investigating the effects of communication technology (telehospice) to improve hospice caregiver QOL. This research brief is a small part of a larger telehospice study examining the effects of videophone technology on hospice caregiver QOL. Because of the wide geographical coverage area for the larger telehospice project, potentially some caregiver assessments may also be telephone-based (Demiris et al. 2004). For its brevity (four items) and previously established reliability and validity, the Caregiver Quality of Life Index (CQLI) was chosen to measure caregiver QOL (McMillan & Mahon 1994).
