Summary

Background:

People undergo many changes when they have a life-threatening illness. Their values may change. They may have less fear of illness and death. They may become more spiritual. Researchers made a questionnaire called HEALS (Healing Experience During All Life Stressors). They want to use it to better understand these positive changes. They hope to provide better care for people with serious illnesses.

Objectives:

To develop the HEALS tool to better understand psycho-social-spiritual healing in people with serious illnesses. Also, to find out how palliative care services help people handle their illness or stress.

Eligibility:

Adults at least 18 years old at least 91 days after being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. They must be getting:

Inpatient or outpatient palliative care at NIH Clinical Center OR

Inpatient palliative care at Suburban Hospital OR

NIH outpatient palliative care provided at Mobile Medical Care Clinic

Design:

Participants will be screened with questions to make sure they are eligible.

Participants will have 1 individual research session. This will be at the NIH Clinical Center.

Participants will be interviewed by a research team member. They will be asked about changes in a person s way of living that might happen during or after a serious illness.

Participants will be asked for their thoughts and opinions about the questions. They will be asked what ideas they may have to make the questions better.

Interviews will be audiotaped.

Participants will be asked some questions specific to their care location and team. These are to better understand how their services are helping participants.
