The method of sampling was purposive sampling. The sample was composed of 64 terminal cancer patients from medical center. Data was collected by interview and questionnaire. The data analysis was used by SPSS computer programs. The major findings of the study were: 1) the SIS score was 6.7±2.4 and MQOL total mean score was 6.1±1.5; 2) the mean scores of MQOL subscale, the rank orders from high to low were support (8.0±2.8), existential well-being (6.1±2.0), psycho-logical symptoms (6.1±2.0), physical symptom (4.2±2.8), and physically well-being (4.2±3.2); 3) The MQOL total score had moderate correlation with SIS (r=0.29, p<0.05). The SIS correlated significantly with the psychological symptoms subscale of MQOL (r=0.33, p<0.01); 4) ECOG-PSR had highly significant negative correlation with physical well-being (r=-0.34, p<0.001) and physical symptoms (r=-0.44, p<0.001). The most important predictor of received palliative care was attitude toward palliative care. The MQOL scale in Chinese version was constructed by physical symptoms (items 1-3), psychological well-being (items 5-8), existential well-being (items 9-14), and support (items 15-16). The item 4, ‘Over the past two days, I have felt: physically (terrible/physically well)’, was also treated as a single item (physical well-being) similar with English version. The results of factor analysis for the construct validity of the MQOL Chinese version is acceptable and similar to the results in two Cohen’s studies for terminal cancer patient in palliative care unit (the English version, 1997 and 2001).application/pdf51166 bytesapplication/pdfzh-TW國立臺灣大學醫學院護理學系暨研究所Palliative care, knowledge, Quality of life, Good death, Behavior intention[SDGs]SDG3journal articlehttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/28468/1/892314B002547.pdf
