Abstract
Patients receiving home parenteral nutritional services from a major corporate provider were surveyed using a written questionnaire. The survey questioned the patients about use of home parenteral nutritional services and the quality of life while receiving home parenteral therapy. Patient satisfaction with home nutritional support services, and the impact home therapy has on patient medical, financial and psychosocial status were examined. Life satisfaction measures were compared with that of end stage renal disease patients and the overall United States population.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
