Abstract

Aims: The purpose of this evidence-based review was to figure out which assessment tool is optimal for measuring hope in palliative adult patients. Methods: Literature search were in: CINAHL, Science direct, MEDLINE, PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google search engine. Keywords were: cancer (oncology, malignancy), hope, assessment (tool and instrument) Only English language articles were accepted. All included studies were assessed for level of evidence. Results: Ten articles were included: Three meta-analysis, two experimental and five descriptive cross-sectional studies. Results of included studies showed strong evidence that Hope Herth Index (HHI) is the most accurate and comprehensive tool to measure adult hope level among cancer patient in palliative setting.
