Inpatient care was continued until death for 531 patients, 604 patients were discharged home and 169 patients were transferred to other places of care. Palliative care treatment effectively reduced mean physical symptom intensity. Mean intensities of psychological and social problems also were reduced although not as much as physical symptom load. Nursing problems were reduced for those patients discharged but not for those who died in the unit. Anxiety and depression were the most frequent psychological problems. Nursing problems were focussed on impairment of mobility and other activities of daily living such as washing, nutrition and drinking. Excessive distress on caregivers and the organisation of home care were the predominant social problems. In conclusion, this representative prospective survey with the majority of palliative care units in Germany showed the high effectiveness of symptom relief.

As a first step for quality assurance, a core documentation form was developed in 1996. The core documentation form consisted of 4 pages with 35 items documenting physical and psychosocial symptoms at the time of admission, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures before and during inpatient treatment, and outcome of physical and psychosocial dimensions. Checklists were used for most items and free text entries could be added. Of the 65 palliative inpatient units in Germany, 44 participated in the second phase of the evaluation of the core documentation in 2000. Eight units were affiliated with anesthesiology departments, 31 with internal medicine, two with radiotherapy, 1 with a surgical department, and 2 units were not affiliated with a department of the hospital. A total of 1087 patients were assessed in the 44 units during a period of up to 3 months. There was a high variability between units in all checklist items of the core documentation. Compared to units affiliated with internal medicine departments, units affiliated with anesthesiology departments performed less chemotherapy, but more immunotherapy; gave fewer infusions and blood transfusions but more skin and wound care, and more lymphatic drainage and massage; and documented psychosocial interventions more frequently for patients as well as for relatives. In one-third of the patients, a consent for omission of therapeutic options was documented. Inpatient treatment ended with the death of the patient in 45.3% of patients and with discharge in 51.6% (not documented 3.1%). The efficacy of inpatient treatment was rated very high by the staff. In conclusion, we found large variation in the documentation pertaining to palliative care patients at the time of admission, as well as for inpatient treatment, among palliative care units in Germany. This was related to the affiliation of the units at least to some degree, but also to differences in interests and documentation discipline. We suggest that training procedures for documentation should be included in crossectional surveys, as the results may not be comparable otherwise. However, common documentation instruments may be the first step towards an interdisciplinary discussion on aims and methods in palliative care."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/S0885-3924(02)00408-6"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/102765"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.issn","0885-3924"],["dc.title","What Is Palliative Care in Germany?

This paper presents an analysis of sedation-related data obtained from the German standardized core documentation system (HOPE) for palliative care patients.

Data was analyzed descriptively from palliative care units (PCU - representative) and inpatient hospice (H - non-representative control group). Chi(2) test was used to test for differences between the reported data per item and year within one kind of setting (significance level p <= 0.05). Free-text entries were categorized inductively. Results: Datasets were obtained for 1,944 patients (P) with EDM. PS was performed in 13.0/11.8% (2005/2006) P in palliative care units (PCU) and 25.5/22.9% in hospices (H). Main reasons for PS in PCU were dyspnea, pain, fear or anxiety, in H reasons were inconsistent, high prevalence of psychosocial reasons. Most PS in PCU and about half of the PS in H were intermittent. Sedated P were younger than non-sedated. Only 7 P received PS after asking for euthanasia. The most used medication was midazolam.

For patients with PBT/SBT physical symptoms (pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation and loss of appetite) were documented less frequently and in lower intensity than for OP. However, nursing, psychological, and social problems/symptoms were documented significantly more often and showed higher intensity, particularly the patients' need for support with the activities of daily living, disorientation/confusion of the patients and overburdening of the family.

The decision whether to treat an active or suspected infection or to withhold or withdraw an antibiotic treatment in end-of-life care may be difficult. In order to quantify the antimicrobial prescribing practices and decision-making processes in palliative care units in Germany, a survey was performed as part of the Hospice and Palliative Evaluation in 2006. With a specifically designed questionnaire, 448 patients for whom an active or suspected infection and antibiotic treatment was discussed were documented. Data on the use of and indication for antibiotic treatment and the decision-making on withdrawal or withholding of antibiotic therapy were collected. 286 (63.8%) received an antibiotic therapy. In 88 cases, withdrawal of an ongoing treatment was documented. The most frequent reasons for withdrawal were: deterioration of general status (41.4%), inefficiency of therapy (25.7%), and explicit wish of patient (14.3%; multiple answers possible). Outcome of antimicrobial therapy was rated poor or very poor for a fifth of the cases and accordingly, antibiotics were more likely to be withdrawn if the clinical success was considered to be poor. The initiation of therapy was often decided by physicians solely, whereas withdrawing and withholding therapy demanded more often involvement of other team members in the decision-making process. The initiation of therapy seems to be easier than withdrawing and withholding, as involvement of other team members in the decision-making process was then sought more often. When antibiotics were given until death, the indication should be reconsidered because of a possibly undesirable prolongation of the dying process.

The German Hospice and Palliative Care Evaluation (HOPE) is a national, long-term quality assurance project. Every year, German hospice and palliative care institutions document a core data set for their patients for a period of three months. Objectives. To validate the multidimensional symptom and problem checklist (HOPE-SP-CL) of the core data set and report details on reliability and validity. Methods. Data from yearly evaluation periods between 2002 and 2009 were used to calculate construct and convergent validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and documentation discipline and acceptance of the core documentation system. Results. The HOPE-SP-CL includes items on physical, nursing, psychological, and social symptoms and problems. Factor analysis extracted four low to moderately intercorrelating factors with eigenvalues greater than 1.0 explaining 56% of the total variance. Discriminant validity of the HOPE-SP-CL showed good properties in detecting patient groups with different symptom intensities and overall symptom burden using the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status and primary cancer diagnosis as external validation criteria. The global sum score of the HOPE-SP-CL correlated most closely with the Palliative Outcome Scale staff version (r = 0.750). Internal consistencies ranged between alpha = 0.768-0.801 at three different times of assessment. Test-retest coefficients showed moderate to high correlations at one-week intervals. Conclusion. Analyses of reliability and validity of the HOPE-SP-CL showed satisfactory to good psychometric properties; therefore, the HOPE-SP-CL can be recommended for standard implementation in German hospice and palliative care institutions.

A total of 4182 patients (NC: 3.5%; C: 96.5%) were documented; functional status (using Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) measures) in NCs was lower compared to Cs (p = 0.009). NCs suffered more often from dyspnoea (40%; C: 29%; p = 0.004), weakness (92,3%; C: 84,5%; p = 0.011) and tiredness (75.4%; C: 66.7%; p = 0.03) and less from nausea (17.1%; C: 28.9%; p = 0.002), vomiting (8.2%; C: 19.4%; p = 0.001) or loss of appetite (55.5%; C: 67.9%; p = 0.002). There were no differences in pain and constipation. Other problems (nursing, psychological) were more frequent for NCs, in particular the need for support in the activities of daily life (90.3%; C: 72.8%; p < 0.001) and disorientation/confusion (32.1%; C: 17.2%; p < 0.001). There were no differences in social problems. NCs are still rare in specialized inpatient palliative care institutions in Germany. The palliative care needs in patients with nonmalignant disease will challenge the health care system as the workload for these services will grow over proportionally."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Mundipharma Company, Limburg; German Cancer Aid"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1177/0269216310385370"],["dc.identifier.isi","000288367500006"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20937612"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/8168"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/23808"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Sage Publications Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","0269-2163"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Non-cancer patients in specialized palliative care in Germany: What are the problems?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
