Developing a Scale for Home-Visit Nurses to Start End-of-life Discussions with Cancer Patients.
Home-visit nurses find it challenging to determine the appropriate time to initiate end-of-life discussions with cancer patients. ⋯ The reliability and validity of the T-EOLD is acceptable, as it is an appropriate scale that home-visit nurses can use to determine the time to initiate end-of-life discussions with cancer patients. However, further study is required to examine T-EOLD's clinical utility, both nationally and internationally.
