HOLISTIC study protocol

SPICT Uses

We went through validated procedures for forward-backwards translations of a SPICT Traditional Chinese version and the review process by professionals in palliative care and home healthcare. All items in this structured questionnaire were piloted among home healthcare patients via face-to-face interviews for the feasibility testing. The validation study is completed and the SPICT-TC will be applied in the HOLISTIC study.
