In a matched, comparative study the provision of an advisory service to families who were nursing a patient with incurable cancer at home enabled the patient to stay at home longer than he otherwise would and helped the family and primary care team to cope with the added burden which resulted. Families seem to have been well satisfied with the help which was given and there were considerable savings in cost to the health service.
在一项配对比较研究中，为在家护理绝症患者的家庭提供咨询服务，使患者能够比原本情况在家中停留更长时间，并帮助家庭和初级保健团队应对由此产生的额外负担。家庭似乎对所提供的帮助非常满意，而且医疗服务成本也有了可观的节省。
