Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The increasing life expectancy and global aging population necessitate changes in long-term gerontological services based on Person-Centred Care approaches. This study aims to improve Person-Centred Care in geriatric centers through meaningful activities and the role of occupational therapists and direct care professionals in developing these activities. A descriptive cross-sectional quasi-experimental design was proposed, with 10 participants.

Detailed Description

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

Background: Increasing life expectancy means that the ageing of populations globally is on the rise. It is therefore important to promote changes in long-term gerontological services based on Person-Centred Care approaches, in which meaningful occupation serves as a basis and is supported by appropriate professional support, such as the occupational therapist and the direct care professional.

Objective: The study aims to analyze the needs, quality of life, and coping strategies of terminally ill patients over five months, as well as burnout and dehumanization among caregivers and healthcare staff.

Methods: This study examines factors influencing the quality of life (QOL) of terminally ill patients and the burnout and dehumanization of caregivers and health professionals using a mixed methodology. The study proposes a 3-time longitudinal design, with evaluations at baseline, 2.5 months, and 5 months, to measure the impact of an intervention on terminally ill patients and their families, focusing on health status, quality of life, and emotional well-being.
