Review of models of palliative care1 What is already known about the topic? 1  Globally, as demand for palliative care is increasing amongst those with life-limiting illnesses, 2 there has been a rapid growth in specialist and generalist palliative care service provision with a 3 range of different of models of palliative care service provision being developed and 4 implemented internationally. 5 The published evidence has been synthesised in a number of reviews which have attempted to 6 identify the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of different models of palliative care. 7 There is no comprehensive overview of the current evidence base to support decision-making 8 based on the advantages and disadvantages of different models of palliative care or to identify 9 any gaps in the evidence base where more primary research is needed. 10What this paper adds? 11 The outcomes measured vary considerably, making meta-analysis impossible. None-the-less, 12 the available evidence indicates that irrespective of setting or patient characteristics, models of 13 palliative care appear to show benefits for patients and their carers, with no evidence for 14 negative effects. Some models of palliative care may reduce total healthcare costs.

Haematological nurses' experiences about palliative care trajectories of patients with life‐threatening haematological malignancies: A qualitative study

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aims To explore haematological nurses' experiences about the palliative care trajectories of patients with life‐threatening haematological malignancies. Design A qualitative study with a descriptive and explorative design. Methods Data were collected through 12 individual semi‐structured interviews of nurses who work with patients with haematological malignancies from four hospitals in Norway. The data were analysed using systematic text condensation. The study was reported according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist. Results Three categories emerged from the data analysis: focus on a cure delays integration of palliative care, dialogue with patients facilitates palliative care and the need for enhanced interdisciplinary understanding. Patient or public contribution No patient or public contribution since nurses' experiences were explored.
