Sammanfattning
Conclusion: Involvement of patients and multidisciplinary personnel across disciplines is a
precondition in the development of new practice. The article describes the development of a tool for
identifying needs for rehabilitation and palliation in cancer patients.
Method: The tool underwent three pilot tests, with methods including focus-group interview,
questionnaire, observational studies and user panels.
Results: The tool enables patients to prepare systematically for conversations relating to their need
for rehabilitation and palliation as its starting point are the challenges patients experience in their
daily lives. The patients experiences are combined with the knowledge healthcare-professionals
have of disease, its treatment and available support services. The tool will be implemented in the
spring of 2015, but is already in use in several hospitals and municipalities.
Nursing implications: Nurses provide the tool to the patient during cancer treatment and followup. The
tool challenges nurses' understanding of rehabilitation and palliation and requires excellent
communication skills. The patient should be considered an expert in his everyday life and
understand the purpose of the tool as preparation for conversation with nurses.
