Care Trajectories, Psychology Exploring Healthcare Trajectories and Their Analytical Value in Assessing Effects of 0206 Healthcare Interventions and Development Processes Proochista Ariana1, Marco Haenssgen2,3, 1University of Oxford, Nuffield Department of Medicine, Oxford, UK, 2University of Oxford, Department of International Development, Oxford, UK, 3Hertford College, Oxford, UK It is widely accepted that health-seeking behaviour is neither limited to nor terminated by access to one single healthcare provider. However, interventions aiming at promoting healthcare access tend to focus on a narrow range of mutually exclusive behaviours, potentially disregarding the complexity of people's trajectories. Using a simple survey instrument, descriptive statistics, and sequence analysis, we explore 119 unique healthcare trajectories among 637 respondents in rural India and China. The emerging patterns do not only reveal locational and socio-demographic healthcare idiosyncrasies, but also yield deeper insights into development processes than a conventional emphasis on "access to formal healthcare" would. Review of evidence about occupational health in palliative medicine 0109 Asta Medisauskaite1, Caroline Kamau1, 1Birkbeck, University of London, London, UK Theory: There are risks to the occupational health of doctors who work in palliative medicine because of the regular experience of patient death and grieving families. Methods: We use PRISMA guidelines to systematically review quantitative articles. To date, the systematic review is at the end of the first search stage and will be completed for discussion. Results: The presentation will discuss the data extraction and synthesis, identifying the most frequent occupational health outcomes of working in the end-of-life care. Conclusion: Understanding the occupational health problems caused by working in palliative medicine will help us plan and deliver appropriate intervention programmes.
