Abstract:

Palliative care is defined as care with an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families in dealing with problems associated with life-threatening illnesses. As many as 75% of patients treated in the intensive care unit experience unpleasant symptoms. Various studies have shown that palliative care can reduce symptoms caused by invasive procedures in intensive care units and can provide end-of-life care. Thus, assisting patients proactively, decision-making with families, prospects for continued care planning and possible scenarios for end-of-life decisions are esse

Abstract:

The term “palliative care” has a negative connotation and may act as a barrier to early patient referrals. Rebranding has thus been proposed as a strategy to reduce the negative perceptions associated with palliative care. For example, using the term “supportive care” instead of “palliative care” in naming palliative care units has been proposed in several studies. In Taiwan, terms other than “palliative” and “hospice” are already widely used in the names of palliative care units. With this in mind, this study investigated the characteristics of palliative care unit names in order to better un

Abstract:

Background: Palliative care in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) aims to enhance quality of life for critically ill neonates and their families. Despite the American Academy of Pediatrics’ broad recommendations, variability exists in implementing palliative care across healthcare facilities. Common neonatal conditions like prematurity, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and neonatal sepsis pose challenges, emphasizing the need for integrative palliative care. Aim: To examine the history, current practices, and emerging trends in neonatal palliative care, emphasizing its implementation in

Abstract:

Palliative care consultations for patients with life-threatening illnesses provide benefits for the patients and their families as well as for the health care team. Patients have better quality of life and live longer but cost the health care system less. Still, many patients are not offered the opportunity to receive a palliative care consultation. Barriers to palliative care consultation for patients in critical care units include misunderstandings about palliative care and not having agreed upon criteria for referral. Critical care nurses can assist in overcoming these barriers.

Abstract:

This article concentrates on a rabbi's questions and feelings towards the use of hospice and palliative care hospital units. Without focusing on a religious premise, the practical and basic palliative care assumptions are examined through the eyes of specific family beliefs and cultural attitudes. In response to these different attitudes, it is suggested that palliative care be more cautious towards its present tendencies and primarily be brought back to the hospital ward.

AbstractObjectiveAlthough hospitals have been described as inadequate place for end-of-life care, many deaths still occur in hospital settings. Although patient-reported outcome measures have shown positive effects for patients in need of palliative care, little is known about how to implement them. We aimed to explore the feasibility of a pilot version of an implementation strategy for the Integrated Palliative care Outcome Scale (IPOS) in acute care settings.MethodA strategy, including information, training, and facilitation to support the use of IPOS, was developed and carried out at three

Abstract:

Objective: Evaluate the cost-utility of palliative care in oncology, estimating direct medical costs, quality-adjusted life years, and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. Methods: It is an economic evaluation using a Markov model to compare the costs and outcomes of palliative care and conventional care. The study cohort was composed of 97 patients from four Oncology Units: 16 (16.5%) from Cancer Hospital 1, 20 (20.6%) from 2, 18 (18.6%) from 3 and 43 (44.3%) from 4. Hospitals 1, 2 and 3 provide conventional care and Hospital 4 palliative care. Results: Cancer Hospital 4 had the lowest m

Abstract:

Palliative cancer patients are faced with multiple symptoms that threaten their quality of life. To manage these symptoms, a reliable and valid way of registration is crucial. In this study, the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) has been translated, modified, and tested on content, face, criterion, construct validity, and internal consistency for patients admitted to Flemish palliative care units. These aspects are tested in a descriptive, comparative, longitudinal study based on 3 convenience samples. The first consisted of 8 palliative care experts. The second sample checked the face

Abstract:

Palliative sedation is an option of last resort to control refractory suffering. In order to better understand palliative-care nurses’ attitudes to palliative sedation, an anonymous questionnaire was sent to all nurses (589) employed in palliative care in Flanders (Belgium). In all, 70.5% of the nurses ( n = 415) responded. A large majority did not agree that euthanasia is preferable to palliative sedation, were against non-voluntary euthanasia in the case of a deeply and continuously sedated patient and considered it generally better not to administer artificial floods or fluids to such a pat
