“…The notion of death becoming a ‘taboo’ subject has impacted the access of high-quality palliative care 31. There have been recent localised attempts to change these negative perceptions through media campaigns 32 33. Although these campaigns have the potential to be beneficial, there is scope for further and more national initiatives, using the media’s ability to alter perceptions of death 34 35…”

Multiple barriers and facilitators to achieving death at home were identified in this study. Of particular significance was the identification of the fear and stigma associated with death among doctors, patients and their families serving as a barrier to home death, not previously identified in the literature. Additionally, the importance of social networks and resource provision were highlighted as key in influencing patient death at home.

“…Interestingly, HCWs were less likely to have discussion/networking motivations as compared to those who had never been an HCW. In recent years, the importance of discussing matters surrounding death has been increasingly emphasised [28,29], yet death and dying has long been considered as a "taboo topic" that most in the public are uncomfortable with [1,2,30]. Non-HCWs may not have contacts that would readily participate in such conversations.…”

The Dying2Learn massive open online course (MOOC) was a five-week course designed for the general community covering various topics related to death and dying, developed with a sociocultural focus that encouraged personal reflection and open discussion, rather than a medical or clinical focus. Yet, the majority of the participants identified as health care workers. Their motivations to enrolling in the course as well as their learning goals were examined. Responses to questions relating to their motivations for enrolment and learning goals were assigned codes and grouped into themes. We then made comparisons between the different demographic and occupational groups. The most commonly mentioned responses related to general interest in the topic of death and dying. HCWs were more likely to mention work-related motivations and improving communication skills than non-HCWs. We found that HCWs hoped to be better at talking about death and dying, which might indicate a possible gap in their formal education in this area.
