Abstract:
Nursing home care for terminally ill cancer patients was organized according to nursing care plans that were based on diagnoses as recommended by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA). This study was carried out among a sample of 40 patients receiving home health care for a period of 1 to 19 weeks. More than 697 nursing diagnoses were identified in the study. The most frequently recorded nursing diagnoses were anxiety, constipation, and diminished food intake. Fifteen of the 40 patients in the study were able to complete a weekly self-report of their symptoms. The patients’ own descriptions of their symptoms were then compared with their symptoms as identified by nursing staff. There was a congruence in 63% of reported instances. Although nurses’ assessments were not always in agreement with the symptoms reported by the patients, agreement was more frequently found with somatic symptoms than with psychological ones. One conclusion is that nursing plans should incorporate multidimensional methods for assessing patients’ real needs.

Abstract:
Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the lived experience of caregivers providing home care for terminally ill family members, with the objectives of describing their experiences of caring for relatives who are terminally ill with cancer and the needs of home caregiving in Bahrain.Methods: The study adopted a Heideggerian, hermeneutic phenomenological design, with a purposive sample of eight family caregivers. Data was generated through one to one, in-depth interviews and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.Results: Three main themes emerged from the data: (1) the burden of care, (2) comforts, and (3) coping. The findings showed that the lived experience of home caregiving includes physical, emotional and financial burdens, combined with a lack of professional support. The collective experience was infused with intense emotions because of a lack of structured support, resulting in negative emotions that frequently affected the caregivers’ well-being and their ability to care for the ill person. Nevertheless, caregivers tried to maintain care and comforts for their terminally ill relative in the home. They adopted the home environment, arranged resources to ease caring and provided psychological care. Caregivers utilized three coping mechanisms, faith, personal strategies and distribution of the care responsibilities among family members.Conclusions: Caregivers were not prepared for the commitment and burdens of home care when a family member is terminally ill. A recommendation from the study findings is that training be offered on nursing care before patients discharge. In addition, a reactivation of the palliative care clinic hotline service would support family caregivers. A further recommendation is that home nursing care and hospice services be established to improve homecare services for family caregivers in Bahrain.

Abstract:
Objective: This study aimed to investigate factors that might lead French homecare nurses to consider the pre-scription of high-dose morphine to terminally ill patients to be euthanasia.Methods: The researchers conducted an anonymous telephone survey among a random sample of602 French homecare nurses (response rate = 75percent) in 2005.Results: Overall, 27percent of responding home nurses considered prescribing high-dose morphine to terminally ill patients to be euthanasia. Such an opinion was more frequently held by older nurses, those who had not followed terminally ill patients during the previous three years, and those with less knowledge about pain management involving opioid analgesics.Conclusion: There is an urgent need to strengthen pain management education among French homecare nurses—especially regarding the use of morphine—in order to both improve their technical skills and correct some misconceptions about opioid analgesics.

Abstract:
In recent decades, there has been a growing public interest in palliative care. This is dictated by the ever increasing number of people who need it. With advances in medical science and the development of new technologies, life expectancy has increased, but at the same time, the number of years spent in illness and suffering has increased. Still, death is not defeated, but pain and suffering can be relieved, and the quality of life of the terminally ill and their families can be improved. Palliative care is overwhelming. They target the patient and his family. They meet the psychic, social, spiritual and cultural needs of the patient, provide training and support to relatives. The family is a social institution that ensures the biological and social continuity of the human race. There is a correlation between it and health. Today it is impossible to function and develop properly without providing optimal health to its members. Diseases of a family member adversely affect his or her functions. Reproductive, economic and psycho-emotional function is impaired. A home is a place where one lives fully and most people prefer their care to be done at home. The needs of patients in need of palliative care are specific. Apart from a health problem, they also have spiritual, social and mental needs. The most frequent care of these patients is taken by a relative or a family member. In most cases, they lack the necessary skills, resources and time. This clearly shows that the quality of life of these patients and their families is not guaranteed. The purpose of this study is to find out what influence has the care of terminally ill on his family. The subject of the study is 602 persons, close to terminally ill in 30 medical institutions in the country. Within a six-month period from 01.11.2017 to 30.04.2018. With the help of a direct individual survey, how the care of the terminally ill is reflected in his family was identified. Statistical methods for data processing and analysis were used. Results: The family is experiencing great stress when there is a severely sick patient in it. The lifestyle of the whole family is changing. Negative emotions accumulate and social contacts are disturbed. Economic and social difficulties, lack of time and lack of knowledge and skills are major problems in families with patients in need of palliative care. Respondents want to participate in training for the care of the sick, need professional help and support to ensure a better quality of life for their close and normal family functioning.

Abstract:
Objective: To assess the willingness of Japanese terminally ill cancer patients to continue living at home during the early phase of home care after discharge from a Clinical Cancer Center (CCC) in Japan, and to identify factors relating to their willingness to continue living at home.Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey of a convenient sample of both Japanese terminally ill cancer patients and their caregivers (PFCs) was conducted (n = 294, effective response rate 25.0%). Questionnaires were mailed and medical records were accessed for 73 pairs of respondents, comprising one terminally ill cancer patient and one PFC.Results: At about 10 days after discharge, 64 patients (88%) wished to continue living at home. A hierarchical logistic regression analysis was performed on the data. It was found that the fewer the medical treatments undergone (OR = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.05–0.72), the higher the patients' perception that their condition was consistent with care at home (OR = 2.77, 95% CI: 1.08–8.62) and with their functional well-being (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.08–2.17). In addition, the higher the caregivers' satisfaction with life (OR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.15–5.77), the more willing patients tended to be to continue living at home.Significant of results: The willingness of Japanese terminally ill cancer patients to continue living at home appears to be affected by caregiver status. This indicates a need for discharging facilities to monitor the state of home assistance and to investigate the nature of assistance required for continuing home care.

Abstract:
Family members have been observed to cope with the losses inherent in terminal illness by grieving. Little is known, however, about the factors which influence their grieving before the death of a significant other. This paper describes an exploratory, cross-sectional, correlational study designed to examine the relationships among general coping style, hope, and anticipatory grief in a convenience sample of 61 family members of individuals with terminal cancer. The organizing framework for this study was based on grief theory, Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) theory of stress and coping, and Davies, Reimer, and Martens' (1990) transition framework. Data were collected by a four-part questionnaire comprising the Jalowiec Coping Scale (Jalowiec, 1987), the Herth Hope Index (Herth, 1991), the Non-Death Version of the Grief Experience Inventory (Sanders, Mauger, & Strong, 1985), and a background information sheet developed by the researcher. Findings revealed that family members experienced individual anticipatory grief patterns. Women experienced more despair and anger/hostility than men. Adult children, more highly educated family members, individuals not living with the ill person, and non-primary caregivers expressed more anger/hostility. Multiple regression results showed that emotive coping and hope accounted for significant proportions of the variance in despair, somatization, and loss of control. Emotive coping contributed significant variation in anger/hostility, whereas lack of hope accounted for a significant amount of the variation in social isolation. Neither the general coping styles nor hope significantly predicted death anxiety. Suggestions for research and nursing were indicated.

Abstract:
This is a dissertation Programme Postgraduate Sensu Strictu Nursing, School of Nursing and Pharmacy, Federal University of Alagoas. Given that cancer at some point in evolution of the disease patients need to solve food problems, nursing adopts guidance to patients and their families as part of their care process, thus seeking a comprehensive and humane care. Based on this finding , this paper focuses the response of family members of cancer patients to dietary changes presented by the patient seriously ill. Aims to identify the experience of handling the family regarding the power of family severely affected by cancer at home. Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory survey conducted via guided by the Family Management Style Framework model interviews - FMSF , conducted with 10 family caregivers home. The results indicate that the sample had as main characteristics the fact that the caregiver being a woman, aged 51-60 years percapta low family income and parental great proximity to the patient. The families identified the food situation as being inappropriate; view The food usually eaten to cause health disorders in the critically ill patient and difficulty in providing the satisfaction of the biopsychosocial demands related to the supply of food. From the speech was possible to describe the behavior of management having the family caregiver modified the patient's diet in line with what you believe is a healthy, family caregiver modified the preparation and supply of the diet, the family caregiver changed his own attitude. Thus, the consequence perceived by the caregiver which were reflected in the discovery of effective strategies and confirmation of their previously developed skills.
Tendo em vista que os pacientes oncológicos em algum momento de evolução da doença necessitam resolver problemas alimentares, a enfermagem adota a orientação aos pacientes e seus familiares como parte de seu processo cuidar, buscando assim uma assistência integral e mais humana. Com base nesta constatação, este trabalho tem como objeto a resposta dos familiares de pacientes oncológicos às alterações alimentares apresentadas pelo doente gravemente enfermo. Teve como objetivos conhecer a experiência de manejo da família referente a alimentação do familiar gravemente acometido pela doença oncológica no domicílio. Pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória realizada através de entrevistas norteadas pelo modelo Family Management Style Framework - FMSF, com 10 cuidadores familiares. Os resultados apontam que a amostra teve como características principais o fato do cuidador ser mulher, na faixa etária de 51 a 60 anos, baixa renda familiar percapta e grande proximidade parental com o paciente. As famílias identificaram a situação alimentar como sendo inapropriada; a comida usualmente ingerida vista como causadora de transtornos a saúde do paciente gravemente enfermo e, tendo ainda dificuldade em proporcionar a satisfação das demandas biopsicossociais relacionadas ao fornecimento da alimentação. A partir das falas dos sujeitos foi possível descrever o comportamento de manejo tendo o cuidador familiar modificado a dieta do paciente em consonância com o que acredita ser uma alimentação saudável; a modificação do preparo e oferta da dieta; além do familiar ter modificado sua própria atitude quando não foi possível alterar a do paciente. Neste movimento, a consequências percebidas pelo cuidador se refletiram no descobrimento de estratégias eficientes na condução do manejo do problema alimentar e na confirmação de suas habilidades previamente desenvolvidas. Contudo, com o agravamento característico da evolução do câncer, o familiar se viu diante de um problema gradativo com evolução negativa, no qual percebeu-se impotente frente as questões de manejo.

Abstract:
In this study, the utilization of palliative care services, acute care services, and location of death for clients who were palliative and receiving services from Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) in Ontario during their last month of life were investigated. An adaptation of Andersen?s Behavioral Model of Health Services Utilization provided context and structure to this study. This is an historical, quantitative descriptive study using chart audits for data collection. The data on CCAC clients who were palliative and who died during the month of July 2009 were tracked during their last month of life. Collection of socio-demographic data, services provided through CCAC, emergency department visits, hospital admissions, and location of death provided the data for this study. The clients who died at home used more CCAC services than those who died at other locations and frequently community palliative care physicians provided their medical care. The findings of this study included: 1) The majority of the clients, who expressed a preference, died in their preferred location. 2) The role of community palliative care physicians was an important component of the services that supported the clients to die in their location of choice. 3) Over 25% of the study sample died in a hospital and the clients used a large number of in-patient hospital days with one quarter of the hospital deaths taking place in an emergency department or an intensive care unit. 4) During the last month of life, 25% of the clients received chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. 5) The clients who died at home used more CCAC services than those who died in other locations and who used institutional resources. The implications for practice, policy, research, and education are discussed.

Abstract:
According to the Ministry of Health (1996:26), the most common chronic/terminal illnesses were cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, cancer, mental disorders, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and asthma. Long term treatment and care and the growing incidence of these conditions necessitated the introduction of home-based care (HBC). Consequently, family care givers play a major role in the provision of care to chronically/terminally ill patients and professional health care providers adopt a supervisory role. This study examined the quality of home care services provided in Botswana. The availability and accessibility of home-based care services and resources have a direct bearing on the quality of home-based care delivery system. The researcher used systems theory was used as the conceptual framework for this study. The study aimed to • determine the accessibility and availability of home-based care services in Molepolole East • investigate what the perspectives and experiences of family care givers, patients and professional health care providers of Botswana home-based care are • determine the roles of professionals health care providers, patients, and family care givers and their relationships in the context of home- based care • identify the needs of chronically/terminally ill patents and family care givers • determine the type of support given to family care givers and patients by professional health care providers and make recommendations for the improvement of home-based care • develop a model to prepare family care givers The research design combined quantitative and qualitative research methods. A sample of convenience was used to obtain information from patients' family care givers and professional health care providers. Interviews and questionnaires were used. A proposed care giving preparedness model is presented to meet needs of the family care givers. The study found that family care givers needs are neither known nor catered for by the professional health care provider. The family care givers were not adequately prepared before adopting the care-giving role. It is recommended that • The proposed preparedness care giving training model is considered for training of patients and family care givers before discharge and during HBC. • Increase patients and family care givers decision-making

Background: In the Chinese culture, "home" is the result of a person's life, and getting home is the attribution of the value of life. However, medical technology advanced greatly, family try to extend the lives of patients. In the end of patient's life, family and physicians do their best to provide excessive medical intervention. They tend to keep patients in hospital for advanced medical care. In view of excessive use of unnecessary medical measures in terminal care, we should stress the importance of the lack of psychosocial care, family support, and indivisualized management. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the physiological, psychosocial and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients who receive hospice home care by the action research method. The purpose is to improve the quality of clinical nursing care. Methods: This study was conducted by the action research method in a metropolitan teaching hospital in Southern Taiwan to investigate terminally ill patients who receive hospice home care. By means of participating observation, chart review, and qualitative research questionnaires, we learned terminally ill patients' physiological, psychosocial and spiritual problems and the grief of bereaved family. We formulate a algorithm improve the preparation of a good death for terminally ill patients. Then we take action and evaluate the effects. Results: We reviewed medical records of 70 patients who receive hospice home care to understand pre-dying symptoms, incluing change of vital signs, breath with mouth open, weakness, upward gaze, incontinence, cyanosis. Psychosocial and spiritual care focus on nearing death awareness. During the course of action research, we evaluated the symptoms of the pre-dying patients, and then integrate the symptoms difficult to access by hospice nurse and follow-up of the bereaved family. Conclusion: In the action research circle, the researcher also carry out evaluation and implementation of the preparation of a good death for pre-dying patients who receive hospice home care. The resercher can understand better the needs of terminally ill patients and the grief of bereaved family. Furthermore, we can provide more appropriate care planning and preparation for a good death.

Abstract:
The research on patients' preferred place of care and death has received increasing attention in recent decades. In palliative care, one of the main goals is to facilitate patients to stay in their preferred place of care, and to die in the place of their choice. Although ‘home' is often quoted as the most preferred place of care and death among the terminally-ill in other places, local studies suggested otherwise. In Hong Kong, death is highly institutionalized with the vast majority of deaths occurring in public hospitals. Local culture, health care system and its provision and accessibility, presence of public health care policy on palliative care and care for the terminally-ill are among the factors affecting patients' preferred and actual place of care and death. This chapter is going to provide an overview of the recent studies and to discuss the topic from the Asian perspectives, and to highlight on the debates on the related policies.

Abstract:
In most middle and low economic nations, problem in the active management of health complaints is patients defaulting on follow-up appointments, attributable to financial constraints and cost of health services due to economic recession. This increases the danger of aggravation and deterioration of the condition and leads to re-hospitalisation. Most terminally ill patients and elderly prefer to be cared for at home by family caregivers or paid health professionals towards the end of their life. Holistic/palliative care is a key component of home health care. Current structure of health and social care services shows that the home is gradually becoming a significant location of long-term care. Holistic care as advocated by Florence Nightingale and others takes cognizance of the care of total human being looking at the spiritual, physical, social and psychosocial care of individual. Quality care for patients and their families can be achieved by establishing principles of holistic/palliative care as an integral part of daily practice both in the hospital and home care, as advocated by the WHO. Challenges in seeking to do this can be overcome if adequate funding is allocated for palliative care activities and setting up machineries for training of families on home care.
