Video-based online interviews for palliative care research: a new normal in COVID-19?

Abstract

There is no doubt thatCOVID-19 has significantly disrupted the course of health and clinical research. In some cases, researchers may have had to arrest data collection or re-design studies to accommodate to COVID-19.However, despite the challenges of carrying out research during COVID-19, researchers in palliative care are conducting research including research on palliative care needs in the context of COVID-19. The pandemic has necessitated online participation in studies, particularly for studies involving patients and caregivers.
