From reactive to proactive: implementing palliative care for patients with COPD
A national survey among pulmonologists and general practitioners was conducted to identify the current content and organization of palliative care in COPD in the Netherlands (Chapter 2). A systematic review revealed that very little was known about the effectiveness of palliative care interventions in COPD and how best to implement it in practice (Chapter 3). To close this knowledge gap, the COMPASSION study was designed (Chapter 4). In a cluster randomized controlled trial in eight hospital regions, health care providers of intervention...Show morePatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may benefit from palliative care including advance care planning, because of their severe symptom burden and high mortality rates. However, this care is poorly implemented due to various reasons. Therefore, this thesis aimed to study the effectiveness of palliative care for patients with COPD and how a palliative care approach can be successfully integrated into regular COPD care.
A national survey among pulmonologists and general practitioners was conducted to identify the current content and organization of palliative care in COPD in the Netherlands (Chapter 2). A systematic review revealed that very little was known about the effectiveness of palliative care interventions in COPD and how best to implement it in practice (Chapter 3). To close this knowledge gap, the COMPASSION study was designed (Chapter 4). In a cluster randomized controlled trial in eight hospital regions, health care providers of intervention regions were trained to identify palliative patients with COPD using the ProPal-COPD tool, do advance care planning conversations, and manage dyspnea. The effectiveness on patient outcomes was studied (Chapter 5) and factors for successful implementation identified (Chapter 6). Finally, the ProPal-COPD tool was externally validated and user experiences examined (Chapter 7).
