Purpose: This was a descriptive study to compare the characteristics and outcomes among deceased cancer patients that had do-notattempt-resuscitation (DNAR) agreements in hospice and oncology wards.
Methods: Subjects of this study were 250 patients with terminal cancer who died after making DNAR agreements from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016 . The subjects were divided into two groups those that died in hospice (n=150) and those that died in oncology wards (n=100). Data were collected from August 2017 to February 2018. Two trained investigators independently reviewed the medical records for subjects using survey tools developed by the researchers (r=.81).
Results: Among the general characteristics between two groups, there were differences in age (t=-2.54, p=.012) and education (¥ö2=5.96, p=.015). Among the disease related characteristics, there were differences in surgery history (¥ö2=10.09, p=.001), chemotherapy history (¥ö2=11.08, p=.002) and symptoms (t=5.14, p<.001) between the two groups. Among the treatment related characteristics, there were differences in chemotherapy at death (¥ö2=9.61, p=.002), radiotherapy at death (¥ö2=5.60, p=.018) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (¥ö2=6.15, p=.029) between the two groups. Among nursing related characteristics, there was a difference in the frequency of nursing intervention after DNAR consent (t=3.72, p<.001) between the two groups. Among outcomes related characteristics, there were differences in consciousness state at the DNAR consent (¥ö2=64.82, p<.001), self-written consent (¥ö2=18.26, p=.001), hospitalization days (t=2.31, p=.022) and the cost per day of hospitalization (t=-4.81, p<.001) between the two groups.
Conclusion: This study found that the patients, families, and medical staff need to change their perception of hospice and palliative care to prevent medical expenses from rising due to unnecessary life-support treatment while preparing for death with family members.
