Understanding Hospital Care at Home for Cancer Patients
This study wants to understand what cancer care providers, patients, and their caregivers think about getting hospital-level care at home. We are gathering information through one-hour interviews or focus groups. These discussions will help us learn about people's knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding this type of care. The goal is to help design future programs that offer hospital care at home for cancer patients. We are looking for about 20 participants, including cancer care providers (like doctors, nurses, social workers), cancer patients, and their caregivers. We will measure how these programs might affect quality of life over about one year. The study status is currently unclear.
