 Findings and Recommendation
1. Terminally-ill patients require holistic approach of nursing that encompasses the different aspects of man,
namely, physical, psychological, social, religious, level of independence, environment, and spiritual.

2. "PREPARE ME" Interventions are said to be effective in improving the quality of life of cancer patients.

The utilization of the intervention as a basic part of care given to cancer patients is recommended, as well as the
3. incorporation of the intervention in the basic nursing curriculum in the care of these patients.

Development of training programs for care providers, as well as health care professionals where intervention is a
4. part of treatment modalities, is also recommended.

For patients, an honest view and feedback regarding their illness and management, and obtaining their
5. perceptions can lead to improvement of services and communication between patients with advanced progressive
cancer, their families and health team.

Supportive environment where patients with advanced progressive cancer and the terminally-ill patients can

6. attain dignity of dying with peace while their families are given the necessary support they need to cope up with.
