|---|---|
| Through the interviews conducted, the personal objectives and values of patients undergoing palliative care will be elicited. The results from the interviews are used to create master lists of potentially important objectives for people undergoing palliative care. These can be understood as checklists on which patients can tick off important objectives in the future before or during a doctor's consultation and weight them if necessary. Through this knowledge, doctors can get to know their patients better and choose an optimal form of therapy together with them within the framework of Shared Decision Making. The existence of these master lists deliberately counteracts the problem that people are not able to fully articulate their most important objectives (Bond et al., 2008) on their own due to so-called "narrow thinking" (Soll et al., 2014). | — |
