CONTEXT: @entity712 @entity1 , along with their informal caregivers are increasingly enrolling in hospice care. Caregiver satisfaction with hospice care is a key quality indicator. The role that diagnosis plays in shaping satisfaction is unclear. OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to identify unique correlates of caregiver satisfaction in @entity712 and @entity5 caregivers and explore whether the identified correlates differ between the two diagnosis groups. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of national data collected in 2011 by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization using the 61-item Family Evaluation of Hospice Care survey. We used complete Family Evaluation of Hospice Care responses of adult @entity712 (n  =  7324) and @entity5 (n  =  23,871) caregivers. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between possible correlates and caregiver satisfaction. Correlates examined included caregiver and @entity1 demographics, @entity1 clinical characteristics, and hospice characteristics. RESULTS: Caregiver-reported @entity1 @entity1353 was associated with global and symptom management satisfaction in the @entity712 cohort, whereas caregiver race was associated with global and symptom management satisfaction in the @entity5 cohort. Nursing home placement was associated with lower satisfaction odds in both @entity5 and @entity712 cohorts, but @entity712 @entity1 were twice as likely as @entity5 @entity1 to receive care in a nursing home. CONCLUSION: This study generated hypotheses about unique factors related to caregiver satisfaction among two diagnosis cohorts that require further study, particularly the impact of race on satisfaction in the @entity5 cohort and the management of @entity1353 in @entity712 hospice @entity1 .
