Introduction: This study aimed to explore the preferences of end-stage cancer patients regarding spending their final days at home or in a hospital, focusing on the impact of cancer types and symptoms necessitating palliative care admission during this period.
Methods: The study was conducted with 274 patients diagnosed with end-stage cancer and admitted to the palliative service of Dr. İFC City Hospital in Tekirdağ province. Opinions were collected from all patients while they were fully conscious. The relationships between patients' preferences for their place of death and their age, gender, socioeconomic status, duration of stay in palliative care, admission complaints, and diagnoses were examined. A significance level of p<0.05 was considered statistically meaningful.
Results: Approximately one-third of the participating patients preferred to die at home under home care supervision. It was found that these preferences were not influenced by the patients' age, gender, socioeconomic status, or duration of stay in palliative care but were affected by their cancer diagnoses and symptoms leading to admission. Patients with pancreatic cancer preferred to die in the hospital, while those with prostate and breast cancer were more likely to choose home death.
Conclusion: If a system equipped with an effective planned home care program, managed by a multidisciplinary team in palliative care services, can be provided to meet the needs of patients and caregivers when they approach hospitals in their final stages, it could enable the right group of patients to spend their end-of-life at home, in accordance with their preferences.

Giriş: Bu çalışma, son evre kanser hastalarının son günlerini evde veya hastanede geçirme tercihlerini, bu tercihlerinde palyatif servisine yatış semptomlarının ve kanser türlerinin etkisine odaklanarak araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Yöntem: Araştırma, Tekirdağ ilinde bulunan Dr. İFC Şehir Hastanesi'nin palyatif servisine kabul edilen 274 son evre kanser tanısı almış hasta ile yürütülmüştür. Tüm hastalardan tamamen bilinçli oldukları sırada görüşler toplanmıştır. Hastaların ölüm yerine ilişkin tercihleri ile yaşları, cinsiyetleri, sosyoekonomik durumları, palyatif serviste yatma süreleri yatış şikayetleri ve tanıları arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Anlamlılık düzeyi olarak p<0,05 değeri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Katılan hastaların yaklaşık üçte biri son günlerini evde, evde bakım gözetimi altında ölmeyi tercih etti. Bu tercihlerin hastaların yaşları, cinsiyetleri, sosyoekonomik durumları veya palyatif bakımda yatma sürelerinden etkilenmediği; ancak kanser tanıları ve palyatif servise yatışlarına neden olan semptomlardan etkilendiği tespit edildi. Pankreas kanseri olan hastalar hastanede ölmeyi tercih ederken, prostat ve meme kanseri olan hastalar evde ölümü daha fazla tercih ettiler.
Sonuç: Eğer, son evrelerinde hastanelere başvuran kanser hastalarının ve bakım verenlerin ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilecek şekilde, palyatif servislerde multidisipliner bir ekip tarafından yönetilen etkili ve planlı bir evde bakım programı sağlanabilirse, saptanan doğru hasta grubunun, tercihlerine uygun olarak, hayatlarının son dönemlerini evde geçirmelerini sağlanabilir.
