Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on comparing how family members perceive the quality of death in patients who died from cardiovascular disease (CVD) versus cancer.
- A survey was sent out to family members of deceased CVD patients, with results showing that the quality of death score for CVD patients was lower compared to cancer patients receiving palliative care, but higher than those in general wards.
- Ultimately, the findings suggest that while the quality of death for CVD patients is generally perceived as lower than for those in palliative care, it does not significantly differ from cancer patients in non-palliative care settings.
