Malignant Glioma Life Experiences |
High-Grade Glioma is a life-threatening disease that can cause the patient substantial physical, mentally and psychosocially impairment. The life expectancy is short, and a majority of patients experience recurrence of tumour growth. At time of recurrence, the treatment possibilities can include surgery, oncological treatment and/or palliative care.
In this situation the patients and their close relatives need to make a difficult balancing between benefits and trade offs.
Little is known about how the patients and their close relatives experience the recurrence and the decision-making process.
The objective of this study is therefore to explore the perspectives, experiences and needs in patients and their close relatives in relation to the decision-making process at time of recurrence.
Data will be generated through semi-structured interviews. Interviews will be analysed and interpreted using a Ricoeur inspired method of qualitative analysis.
The study is part of a larger PhD-study.
