Synopsis "Utilization of palliative care services among cancer patients at MRRH: DE"

Palliative care enhances the quality of life for patients with life-threatening illnesses but remains limited, particularly in low-income countries like Uganda. Despite approximately 33,000 new cancer cases annually, with over 80% in advanced stages, only 11% of patients receive necessary palliative care due to resource shortages, low awareness, and weak healthcare integration. This study assessed factors influencing the utilization of palliative care services among cancer patients at Mbale Regional Referral Hospital through three objectives: identifying patient-related factors, exploring system-related factors, and analyzing healthcare worker practices. A cross-sectional study design was employed, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods. Quantitative data were collected from 80 cancer patients randomly while qualitative data were obtained from 20 purposively selected key informant. Consecutive sampling ensured comprehensive inclusion, and thematic saturation guided qualitative analysis. Findings revealed a response rate of 88% . The study concluded that while awareness among healthcare workers is moderate, practical experience was lacking.
