Summary
This study translated and tested a scale called the Respiratory Distress Observation Scale (RDOS) for use with Turkish-speaking palliative care patients who cannot describe their breathing difficulty. Researchers observed 100 adults with conditions like lung cancer or heart failure to see if the Turkish version reliably measures distress. The goal is to give doctors a better tool to assess and treat breathlessness in non-communicative patients.
