Summary

This study aims to explore the prevalence of demoralization among palliative care patients and family caregivers in Hong Kong and examines psychosocial factors associated with demoralization. We hypothesized that higher depression, caregiving strain and caregiver support needs would lead to higher demoralization, and greater perceived family support was associated with lower demoralization among patients and family caregivers.
