Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

High-Grade Glioma is a life-threatening disease that can cause the patient substantial physical, mentally and psychosocially impairment. The life expectancy is short, and a majority of patients experience recurrence of tumour growth. At time of recurrence, the treatment possibilities can include surgery, oncological treatment and/or palliative care.

In this situation the patients and their close relatives need to make a difficult balancing between benefits and trade offs.

Little is known about how the patients and their close relatives experience the recurrence and the decision-making process.

The objective of this study is therefore to explore the perspectives, experiences and needs in patients and their close relatives in relation to the decision-making process at time of recurrence.

Data will be generated through semi-structured interviews. Interviews will be analysed and interpreted using a Ricoeur inspired method of qualitative analysis.

The study is part of a larger PhD-study.
