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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuilding 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.
