Symptom assessment using the PCPSS and the SAS Symptom Assessment Tools Palliative Care Problem Severity Score Symptom Assessment Scale

Palliative Care Problem Severity Score (PCPSS) Overview A clinician rated score of palliative care problems A summary measure of problems in four domains: Pain Other symptoms Psychological /Spiritual Family /Carer

The score for PCPSS are: How to Assess PCPSS

How much of a problem is pain for this patient?

How to Assess PCPSS Nausea/vomiting Anorexia Itchiness/irritation Wound/ulcer Weakness/fatigue Oedema Confusion/delirium Constipation/diarrhoeaIncontinence Dyspnoea

How to Assess PCPSS Anxiety/fear Anger Depression/sadnessConfusion Request to die Unrealistic goals Agitation

How to Assess PCPSS Cultural Anger Financial Non-English speaking Legal Unrealistic goals Family/carer accommodation DenialCaregiver fatigue Sensory impairment Difficult communicationFamily/carer conflict

Symptom Assessment Scale (SAS) Overview A patient rated tool assessing individual symptom distress Symptoms may be added Seven items are the most common symptoms

Symptom Assessment Scale (SAS) Appetite problems Fatigue Pain Bowel problems Nausea Breathing problems Difficulty sleeping Symptoms

How to Assess the Symptom Assessment Scale A score of zero (0) would indicate the symptom is absent A score of 10 (10) would indicate you are having the worst possible experience with that symptom None at all Worst possible

How to Assess the Symptom Assessment Scale “Yesterday you told me that you were sleeping rather well and you gave a rating of 2. Are there any changes today?” “Are your bowels still troubling you? The last few days you’ve given a rating of 6 or 7. Have the new medications helped... What is the score today, 0 being not causing distress and 10 being the worst distress possible?”

How to Assess the Symptom Assessment Scale If the patient experiencing symptoms is unable to rate symptom distress, a proxy can be used A proxy is someone who can answer the SAS items from the patient’s perspective

How to Assess the Symptom Assessment Scale “I’m not observing any signs of distress relating to pain from your mother today. Do you feel that a score of 0, being no pain, is correct or have you observed signs of distress that could be related to pain?”

The Differences PCPSS 0 -3SAS 0-10 Clinician RatedPatient Rated Summary of problems in 4 domains Degree of distress relating to individual symptoms Identifies overall priorities of care Identifies patient priorities relating to individual symptoms Includes family/ carer assessment Includes psychological / spiritual assessment Psychological or spiritual symptoms can be added to the scale and individually assessed Patient assessment only
