Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Transitional, Supportive and Palliative Care

Hong Kong

Ne öğreneceğim?

The transitional, supportive and palliative care research theme aims to develop advanced nursing practices for clients with chronic diseases and to evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of complementary and alternative therapies including traditional interventions. This theme also focuses on models of care and their effectiveness.

The group's research priorities are on three areas:

  • Symptom management in cancer, palliative care and life-limiting illnesses
  • Traditional Chinese medicine and complementary therapies
  • Models of care delivery with a focus on transitional care and community-based chronic disease management.

Supportive & palliative care - symptom management in cancer, palliative care and life-limiting illnesses

Our programme of research focuses on empirical testing of interventions for symptom management in clients who have life-limiting illnesses such as end-stage organ failure or cancer and require palliative care. The effectiveness of these interventions is demonstrated by improved symptom control and quality of life, enhanced total well-being and reduced unnecessary use of healthcare services.

Supportive care - Traditional Chinese medicine and complementary therapies

Our work in this area supplements the previous research programme and evaluates the efficacy and mechanisms of complementary and alternative therapies including traditional interventions such as acupuncture, acupressure and herbal therapy, as well as psychosocial measures such as hope therapy and patient engagement. The effectiveness of integrating these therapies into mainstream western medical treatment for enhancing the quality of care is established through empirical studies.

Models of care delivery with a focus on transitional care and community-based chronic disease management

Researchers in this area aim to develop models of care delivery for clients with chronic diseases and/or complex needs, who require cost effective and holistic interventions. Such studies will help promote cost-effective care delivery and quality outcomes.
