“…The home environment, as a second skin, mitigates fears, strengthens interactions and facilitates the proximity of the patient and their family members. Being at home, or in the environment where you want to be cared for, ensures and encourages the sick person’s autonomy, a basic characteristic and one of the most significant benefits of EoL care, as it enables individuals to make decisions and thus maintain take control of their lives [ 42 ].…”

This study explored the meanings and experiences of patients with terminal chronic diseases and their caregivers, who face the imminence of death in the home environment after hospital discharge. The qualitative study used constructivist grounded theory. The participants were individuals with a terminal chronic illness, discharged to home, and their family caregivers. Data were gathered from in-depth interviews and field notes, and a comparative analysis was conducted to identify categories and codes, according to Charmaz’s theory. The sample consisted of 21 participants. Three inter-related data categories emerged: “Floating between acceptance and resistance: Perceiving the proximity of death”, “Analysing the end from other perspectives: it is in the encounter with death that life is understood” and “Accepting the path: between the love of letting go and the love of wanting to stay”. The categories translate the reconstruction of those facing end-of-life occurring in the home environment. It is amid the imminence of death that life gains intensity and talking about the finitude of life configures an opportunity to see life from other perspectives. Giving voice to individuals facing the mishaps of a terminal illness fosters the path to a comfortable death. For health professionals, it is an opportunity to provide structured and humanized care with an ethical attitude, in defence of human dignity.

“…Aging in place and dying at home are increasingly preferred options for people worldwide, including in the United States. 1 This trend has been evident since 2017, when dying at home surpassed dying in the hospital for the first time among Americans, 2 and it has continued to gain momentum, especially during and after COVID-19. 3 However, despite this growing preference, a significant disparity remains between the preferred and actual place of death.…”

A home is a preferred place of death by most people. Nurses play a key role in supporting end-of-life home care, yet less is known about the factors that determine home as a place of death. This scoping review describes the percentage of actual places of death and determines social factors related to home as the place of death among noncancer patients with end-stage chronic health conditions. Inclusion criteria included (1) noncancer chronic illness conditions, (2) outcomes of place of death, and (3) factors that determine home as a place of death. Sources of evidence included PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases, which were searched in May 2022, and additional searches from May 2022 to November 2023.The JBI scoping review guide (2020) and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Scoping Review extension were used. Twenty-eight studies were included in this analysis. The range of percentages is varied within the same place of death among the sample. Two major constructs that determine a home as a place of death were identified: preceding factors and social capital. The results suggest that the place of death among noncancer patients with end-stage chronic health conditions should be continued to be understood. Two constructs determined home as a place of death and are considered as a fundamental to increasing equal accessibility in the initiation of palliative care services to promote home death and meet end-of-life care goals.
