(2) What are the primary needs domains around which verbal expressions gravitate?
Overall, this research both supports and extends what is currently known about hospice patients' perceptions of needs domains.
Figure 2 shifts the focus from how many patients' report various needs domains to how frequently these needs are expressed by all 30 patients.
Lower social class was concomitant with more needs in all health needs domains (p < 0.01) although not statistically significant in satisfaction score.
Patients' narratives suggest the following needs domains in terms of relative importance: time, social, physiological, death and dying, safety, spirituality, change & adaptation.
Findings illustrate that when provided the opportunity hospice patients' are independently able to make-sense of familiar, unfamiliar, and uncertain end-of-life experiences through their native vocabulary and intuitively organize them around needs domains.
The factor structure was quite identical and the kappa coefficients in test-retest and interrater reliability testing with the MANQ were quite similar to those found in previous studies with the CAN for each of the needs domains.
You need domain expertise and you need data … you really need to work with governments and corporations".
Some items were perceived to be similar to each other, and some items contributed their respective scores to more than one user-need domain, problematic due to the inflation of inter-domain correlations that results.
