Palliative and end-of-life care are concerned with the physical, social, psychological, and spiritual care of people with advanced disease and serious illness. They affect people in all societies, all countries, and are growing fields post-Covid. Changing demographics and treatments mean that people are living longer with serious illness and multiple conditions, often needing symptom control and complex care and support. Research in these areas present a particular challenge, both because of the ethical and practical difficulties inherent in working with very ill patients and their families, and because of the range of research questions considered to be within the domain of palliative care.

Building on the first edition, this book provides an introduction to research methods in the fields of palliative, supportive, and end-of-life care, and complex patients. Edited by six experienced palliative care academics with acknowledged expertise and international reputations in this field, this book is both authoritative and accessible. It encompasses methods used in both clinical and health services research, covering methodological theory, design, measures, and practice and case examples across the entire scope of research. The book has been fully updated and includes the latest developments such as use of big data and forming research collaborations.

This will be an essential methodological book for clinicians, academics, researchers and educators, and especially those undertaking a MSc, PhD, or early career researchers in palliative care and related fields.

Eduardo Bruera obtained his medical degree from the University of Rosario, Argentina. He trained in medical oncology and in 1984 relocated to the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, where he directed the Clinical and Academic Palliative Care programs until 1999. He then joined The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center where he currently holds the F.T. McGraw Chair in the Treatment of Cancer and is the Chair of the Department of Palliative, Rehabilitation and Integrative Medicine. Dr Bruera's main clinical interest is the care of the physical and psychosocial distress of patients with advanced cancer and the support of their families. He has more than 1300 peer-reviewed publications and given more than 900 major invited lectures. He has received several national and international awards, including, the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Sigillum Magnum by the University of Bologna, Italy.

Massimo Costantini is a physician, specialising in oncology, who spent his career as a clinician and researcher. His research interests are in the areas of palliative care, quality of life, and psycho-oncology. He trained as an epidemiologist at the Clinical Epidemiology Unit of the National Cancer Institute in Genoa. His main research activities in palliative care focused on studying multidimensional problems of advanced cancer patients, and on investigating the effect of palliative care services and other complex interventions on quality of care. He was Medical Director of a Hospice in Genoa, and he took the responsibility of the development and management of the Ligurian Palliative Care Network. In April 2013 he moved to Reggio Emilia, where he was Medical Director of the newly established Hospital Palliative Care Unit, and subsequently Scientific Director of the Research Institute.

David C. Currow is a clinician and researcher with a track record in health systems research, randomised control trials, and working with large datasets to improve the quality of care. Areas of particular interest include the population of people with life-limiting illnesses who are not referred to specialist palliative care services, and their outcomes. His health service research includes developing Needs Assessment Tools in specific diagnoses. It also includes robust evaluations of different models of service delivery. His symptom control studies include a range of fully powered, multi-site, double-blind studies on widely used interventions in symptom control. This includes particular emphasis on studies in breathlessness and cachexia. Other works include the population burden of symptoms and correlative laboratory science for the randomised trials that are being done.

Some of this research involves evaluating complex interventions in large trials. She is involved in seven European studies which focus upon service delivery, enhancing shared decision making, and symptom management. She is part of the NIHR/Department of Health Policy Research Unit for Palliative Care. At Lancaster university she teaches on systematic review methods, trial designs and qualitative research.
