Full textSammanfattning Bakgrund: Det finns ett behov av god palliativ vård hos den växande äldre befolkningen. Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) är ett vårdprogram som togs fram för palliativ vård även utanför hospiceavdelningar. Evidens saknades för effekten av LCP, därför har den fasats ut i många länder. Syfte: Att undersöka fördelar och nackdelar med Liverpool Care Pathway, faktorer som påverkar implementeringen och om LCP kan användas vid vården av döende äldre utan cancerdiagnos. Metod: En litteraturöversikt innehållande 15 vetenskapliga originalartiklar. Artiklarna söktes i databasen PubMed. Samtliga artiklar bedömdes vara av medel eller hög kvalitet. Resultat: Flera studier påvisade att kommunikationen förbättrades. Symtom och smärtbehandling ökade i frekvens. Undersökningar och provtagningar minskade. Psykosocialt stöd till patienten och anhöriga förbättrades. Läkemedelshanteringen blev säkrare med LCP. Brister gällande dokumentation diskuterades. Kvaliteten på implementeringen hade stor inflytande på hur LCP skulle komma att utföras. Faktorer som påverkade implementeringen var tid, pengar, personliga åsikter, ledarskap och stöd. Slustats: Resultatet från litteraturöversikten visar att det finns fördelar för kommunikationen, läkemedelshanteringen, symtomhanteringen och psykosocialt stöd till patienter och anhöriga. Dokumentationen behöver förbättras. För att LCP ska fungera optimalt krävs en noggrann implementering med tydligt ledarskap och ordentlig utbildning. Det finns delar i LCP som skulle kunna användas i vården av döende äldre utan cancerdiagnos men mer forskning krävs inom området. Nyckelord: LCP, Palliativ vård, Äldreomsorg, Implementering

Full textBackground: The Liverpool Care Pathway is a guidance of care for the dying patient. It was created to transfer the hospice model of care into other hospital settings. LCP provides a pathway in communication within the multidisciplinary team, with relatives and the dying patient. LCP gives guidance for doctors to prescribe medication for the most common symptoms that can appear in the dying phase to improve symptom management. LCP is today used in several places in Sweden within different frameworks of medical facilities. Aim: The aim was to illustrate the use of Liverpool Care Pathway in an acute hospital setting from a nurse perspective. Methods: This essay is a systematic literature review and the data was based on nine articles of published research. The published articles were found in four different databases. These were: Pubmed, Chinhal, Medline and ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source. The data was then analyzed and structured into different main themes, and was then compiled into a result. The articles were based on studies made in England, New Zealand and Italy. Results: When analyzing the articles six different main themes emerged. These were: communication, documentation, increased self-confidents, medical guidelines and care, improved end-of-life care and improved continuity in the care of the dying. Discussion: The studies relevance to Sweden was discussed because none of them had been made in Sweden. The main themes were related to previous research and to Katie Eriksson's concept of suffering and care.

Full textIntroduction: The main goal of this dissertation is to identify patients (18 or older) with palliative needs admitted to a District Hospital and to know how LPC has been used as a healthcare guideline to patients with limited lifetime prognosis also admitted to District Hospital. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study. Methodology: This is a random sample combining adult patients admitted to several units of a Public District Hospital. The data were obtained from a survey to healthcare professionals committed to the patients. No interviews or surveys were made to patients at the Hospital. Results: 21 professionals participated in the study, 9 (43%) of which are specialists and Assistant Physicians, 7 (33%) Head-Nurses, 3 (14%) Resident physicians and 2 (10%) Heads of Service. All healthcare professionals were not aware of any LCP and stated that palliative care services were inexistent at the Hospital. Physicians estimate that 58% of all patients admitted with 1 year life expectancy prognosis and an average age of 76.26 years require palliative care while nurses estimate that 44% of the patients are in need of palliative care. According to the physicians’ estimations, patients with 1 year life expectancy prognosis or less have been admitted from 1 to 34 days in the hospital while those referred to by the nurses have been admitted from 1 to 60 days. 15.2 % of the patients are oncologic while 82.8% are non-oncologic. 37.5% of the patients with one year life expectancy or less have digestive system cancer and 25% have lung and hematologic cancer. 40% of non-oncologic patients suffer from cardiovascular disease and 22% from the urinary system. As to the same prognosis, nurses refer that 29.7% have cardiovascular disease and 24.3% urinary system disease. According to the physicians, 1.9% of the patients were referred to palliative care while nurses stated that 11.3% were referred. 3 (50%) of these patients are oncologic while other 3 (50%) are non- oncologic. Physicians and nurses have not referred these patients to palliative care mainly because: “The patient is still undergoing active treatment”.

Full textOs Integrated Care Pathway são instrumentos de trabalho, desenvolvidos para perfis específicos de Doentes, que determinam as melhores práticas, num contexto multidisciplinar, seguindo linhas orientadoras e evidências, sempre que disponíveis. O seu objectivo é elevar a qualidade dos cuidados prestados e permitir uma avaliação contínua dos resultados. O Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) é um ICP, incorporando, como tal, os mesmos objectivos e métodos, mas especificamente ajustado ao cuidado a Doentes terminais. Antes de mais, o objectivo do LCP é o de permitir que Profissionais não especializados prestem cuidados de elevada qualidade a Doentes terminais, com o apoio de especialistas em Cuidados Paliativos quando necessário. Todo o documento cientifico deve ser traduzido e adaptado linguística e culturalmente ao meio e língua onde vai ser inserido e aplicado, de forma aos profissionais que o utilizem o compreendam sem falsas interpretações. Este estudo consiste na tradução, adaptação cultural e linguística do LCP e da sua aplicação no Serviço de Cuidados Continuados do Centro de Saúde dos Olivais, com a respectiva análise dos dados colhidos antes e após a sua aplicação. Concluiu-se com a aplicação do LCP que foram melhorados os cuidados aos doentes em fim de vida, investindo na prevenção do aparecimento dos sintomas mais frequentes nesta fase, no plano terapêutico bem explicado e discutido com o doente e sua família. Os cuidados de conforto já eram parte integrante nos procedimentos habituais da equipa antes da aplicação do LCP, mas verificou-se um aumento significativo dos mesmos. A comunicação com o doente foi um dos aspectos que passou a ser mais valorizado. Concluiu-se ainda que as necessidades espirituais e religiosas, não faziam parte dos cuidados aos doentes em fim de vida, por falta de formação dos profissionais e dificuldades relacionadas com estes aspectos e após a aplicação do Pathway já passaram a ser abordados. No que diz respeito aos cuidados post-morten tiveram uma evolução significativa, pois antes da aplicação do LCP eram praticamente inexistentes.
An Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) is a tool, developed for a specific group/profile of Patients, which determines multidisciplinary practices based on guidelines and evidence, whenever available. It is aimed at improving the quality of care given and facilitating evaluation of outcomes. Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) is an ICP, thus integrating the same goals and methods, but specifically developed for terminal Patients. First and foremost, LCP goal is to enable non specialized Professionals to deliver high quality care to terminal Patients, counting, whenever needed, with the support of Palliative Care Professionals. As with any other scientific document, LCP is a tool that needs to be translated and culturally adapted to the native language and culture, in order to be fully understood by local Professionals and used accurately, free of dubious interpretations. The present paper describes the translation and cultural adaptation process of LCP in order to enable it to be applicable in Portugal, more specifically in Olivais Healthcare Centre (Serviço de Cuidados Continuados do Centro de Saúde dos Olivais). Data on healthcare given pre and post LCP application to local terminal Patients was collected and analyzed. Results indicate that LCP application contributes to improve the care given to terminal Patients, either those performed by Professionals as well as close relatives or any other caregiver, thus also improving the Patients’ life quality in the last days of his or her life. Comfort measures were already standard procedures within the team but, with LCP, these were enhanced and more frequently applied. Effective communication with the Patient, whenever possible and his /her caregivers was also improved. Spiritual and religious needs were previously not addressed by Professionals, partly because they were not aware of it, partly because they did not feel comfortable in addressing this issue. This behavior changed with LCP. The same occurred with post-morten care that, previously to LCP, was seldom performed.

Full textIntroduction: The main aims are to identify adult patients in need of palliative care who are interned in acute care hospitals on the island of Madeira and to learn more about the use of the Liverpool Care Pathway as a guideline for the care provided in the last phases of life. Methodology: This is a descriptive, transversal, observational study. It was carried out by means of the completion of a form, based on the Gold Standards Framework Prognostic Indicator Guidance, which was given to the doctors in charge of the patients and to the department head nurse. Results: 385 patients were evaluated, of whom 129 (33,5%) were identified as needing palliative care. The average age was 73 years. The average length of internment was 15 days. 70% of the patients presented with "non-oncological" disease requiring palliative care and 30% with “oncological” disease. The majority of patients in the study were in Internal Medicine (39%), followed by those in General Surgery (12%) and Orthopaedics(11%). The greatest percentage of occupation of beds was in Haemato-Oncolology (73%). In the “oncological” group, digestive and respiratory pathologies were the most prevalent, while in the “non-oncological” group respiratory and cardiovascular pathologies were predominant. 94% of patients had not been referred to the Palliative Care department, the main reason being that “They are still receiving active treatment”. 96 health professionals responded to the form. Of these, 94% were unaware of the Liverpool Care Pathway. Discussion: The prevalence of patients in need of palliative care identified in this study appears to be similar to that found in the scientific literature. It is necessary to create or adapt health programmes and policies that are aimed at the needs of this population. There appears to be considerable lack of awareness of the Liverpool Care Pathway. It is important that a programme of dissemination and of training for health professionals be created. Conclusion: 129 patients (33.5% of the total) in need of palliative care were identified in the acute care hospitals on the island of Madeira. 94% of healthcare professionals responded that they were unaware of the Liverpool Care Pathway.
