Towards theory-Âbased behavioral interventions to improve early initiation of palliative care in people with cancer: application of the Theory of Planned Behavior Ghent University
Palliative care (PC) is often initiated too late. Theory-Âbased behavioral interventions that improve early initiation of PC in the disease course are necessary. A desired patient behavior is to bring up PC with the family physician. The aim of this project is 1) to identify determinants affecting the
desired patient behavior, and 2) to systematically develop a theoretically-Âbased behavioral intervention.
