Conducting scientific research within a clinical practice area presents a variety of challenges. When the specialty area is hospice and palliative care, the collaborative task is particularly daunting. In this paper, we describe an ongoing study being conducted as a partnership between the University of Illinois at Chicago and a large metropolitan hospice organization. Our research is focused on engaging patients and their caregivers in a study measuring the effects of massage on cancer pain. The purpose of this paper is to describe both the lessons learned and the benefits accrued from collaboration between hospice practitioners and academic researchers. We present these process findings as guideposts for others considering end-of-life or palliative care research. Upon completion of the study in 2009, we will disseminate outcome findings in future papers.
在临床实践领域开展科学研究面临着诸多挑战。当专业领域是临终关怀与姑息治疗时，合作任务尤为艰巨。在本文中，我们描述了一项正在进行的研究，该研究是伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校与一个大型都市临终关怀组织合作开展的。我们的研究重点是让患者及其护理人员参与一项测量按摩对癌症疼痛影响的研究。本文的目的是描述临终关怀从业者与学术研究人员合作所学到的经验教训以及获得的益处。我们将这些过程性发现作为其他考虑临终或姑息治疗研究的人的指导方针。2009年研究完成后，我们将在未来的论文中公布研究结果。
