Mixed-method examination of factors associated with adolescent decision-making and involvement in care in the context of advanced cancer
Palliat Support Care. 2024 Feb 14:1-8. doi: 10.1017/S1478951524000026. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVES: Adolescents with cancer often experience significant symptom burden and aggressive treatment near end-of-life. Increased adolescent involvement in care and decision-making may benefit health outcomes. Limited research has examined factors associated with adolescents' involvement in care in the context of advanced disease. Thus, we examined the impact of background factors and decision-making perceptions on both adolescents' involvement in care and their desired change in involvement.METHODS: Adolescents with adv...
