这项研究的目的是确定是否死亡后调查的家庭成员造成更多的痛苦，如果他们管理的时间更接近病人的死亡，以及是否家庭成员不太可能响应早期的调查。临终关怀病人的照顾者被随机分配到接受调查，在2周（n = 107）或6周（n = 100）后，病人的死亡。回答率和自我报告的痛苦经历完成调查记录。在2周和6周的调查中，痛苦的自我评定没有差异，应答率相同（2周：54%; 6周：54%）。痛苦和答复率似乎不受数据收集时间的影响，即使在死亡后不久进行调查。疼痛症状管理杂志2003;25：128-132. (C)2003年美国癌症疼痛。救济委员会。出版社：Elsevier Allrights Reserved
The goals of this study were to determine whether post-death surveys of family members cause more distress if they are administered closer in time to the patient's death, and whether family members are less likely to respond to earlier surveys. Caregivers of hospice patients were randomly assigned to receive a survey at 2 weeks (n = 107) or at 6 weeks (n = 100) after the patient's death. Response rates and self-reported distress experienced in completing the survey were recorded. There were no differences in self-ratings of distress between 2- and 6-week surveys, and response rates were identical (2-week: 54 %; 6-week: 54 %). Distress and response rate do not appear to be influenced by the timing of data collection, even when surveys are administered very soon after death. J Pain Symptom Manage 2003;25:128-132.
