Identification of psychological distress in palliative and end of life care

Summary:

Timely identification of psychological needs is crucial in evidence-based palliative care for life-limiting illness. This seminar examines the challenges and opportunities of routine distress screening in palliative and end-of-life settings, reflecting on our recent research and clinical practice. We review the empirical evidence and unique considerations with regards distress screening in this setting, evaluate the Distress Thermometer’s applications and psychometric properties, and discuss future steps for clinicians, researchers and policymakers in terms of improving distress screening in this context to ensure the right care at the right time.
