Validation Practices in the Clinical Applications of Quality-of-Life Assessment Tools in Palliative Care.
Quality-of-life assessment tools, such as patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), are developed to capture quality-of-life information directly from patients. However, a knowledge gap exists regarding valid interpretations of quality-of-life assessment tool’s scores at point of care. Using an interpretive description approach, Dominique investigated how palliative care professionals and patients can collaborate in validation practices and use these tools meaningfully at point of care.
Dominique Duquette PhD is a nurse at Victoria Hospice. She practices on the In-Patient Unit, with the Palliative Response Team, as the Clinical Practice Educator, and recently as the Interim Manager of Research, Quality and Safety. She also serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor with the University of Victoria School of Nursing and is the President-Elect of the Canadian Palliative Care Nursing Association.
