Impact of high self-perceived burden to others with preferences for end-of-life care and its determinants for terminally ill cancer patients: a prospective cohort study
Self-perceived burden to others (SPB) is a major concern of terminally ill cancer patients and is frequently factored into end-of-life (EOL) care decision-making. However, changes in and determinants of SPB and its longitudinal impact on preferences for EOL care over the dying process have not been investigated. Our study was aimed at filling this gap in knowledge.
