Experiences of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis-related complex care needs and their caregivers.
The study explored the needs of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) and caregivers during care transitions. Findings showed limited prognostic understanding and advance care planning among patients, with most caregivers providing daily care without proper training. Many participants experienced anxiety and depression. Interviewees emphasized the lack of guidance and called for health system changes. The study concluded that interventions providing clinical training, facilitating serious illness conversations, and offering psychosocial support are necessary.
