In this portion of the study, we hope that a better understanding of the needs of LGBT+ family caregivers and communication among family caregivers, patients, and hospice providers will lead to the best care possible for all families receiving hospice services in the home.
What Do We Hope to Accomplish?
We hope to learn more about end of life concerns, hospice support and communication needs that are unique to families with LGBT+ members. Additionally, we hope to learn more about hospice providers' knowledge and experience in providing care to families with LGBT+ members. Better understanding of the needs of LGBT+ hospice family caregivers and patients will improve care for families with LGBT+ loved ones and all other families.
Interview Involvement
We are currently recruiting LGBT+ family caregivers of patients receiving hospice services now or in the past. Eligible participants will be asked to take part in an interview. The interview will last between 45-60 minutes. During this time participants will be asked about their experiences, support needs and interactions with hospice providers. Participants will receive a $50 gift card as thanks for their contribution. If you are a family caregiver interested in participating, please contact a team member at 801-448-3576 or by emailing: hospicetodayproject@utah.edu
