Introduction: Simulation activities, such as roleplay, have become established in undergraduate and graduate education in several subjects of healthcare. The objective of this study was to synthesize the evidence available in the literature on the use of roleplay as an educational strategy in palliative care. Methods: Using the method proposed by Whittemore and Knafl, this integrative systematic review was carried out based on the following guiding question: “What is the available evidence in the literature on the use of roleplay as an educational strategy in the teaching of palliative care?” The databases used for the selection of articles were the following: Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, and LILACS. There were no limitations regarding the year of publication or language. Results: The articles (n = 34) were grouped into 3 categories, according to the purpose of roleplay use: 1) Use of roleplay as an educational strategy to teach communication in palliative care; 2) Use of roleplay as an educational strategy to teach the communication of bad news, and 3) Use of roleplay as an educational strategy to teach end-of-life care. Conclusion: Roleplay has been employed in the teaching of palliative care in order to develop skills related to communication and to the provision of end-of-life care. These educational activities have mainly been directed to healthcare students and professionals. Future investigations should further evaluate the efficacy of this teaching strategy, based on studies with more robust designs that allow the establishment of cause-and-effect relationships.

“…Communication has been acknowledged by Olsen et al (2010) and as an attractive skill added by an integrated palliative model of care, although the sensitivity of the subject makes it hard for professionals to convey the need for palliative care. There have been successful training exercises that utilise interactive theatre to enhance patient–provider communication and improve the promotion of inter-professional education (Pastor et al , 2016), which is one of the essential foundations of any effective healthcare plan (Arnold and Boggs, 2015). Continuous engagement through constant updates and feedback developed by interdisciplinary relationships proves to engage effective communication levels (Cunniffe et al , 2016), which can be used to create a joint holistic integrated palliative model of care.…”

Purpose Due to an international ageing population, global health organisations have recognised the challenges arising from fragmented interaction between health and social sectors in the end of life care. The purpose of this paper is to explore the existing literature on integrative palliative care services for older people. Design/methodology/approach An integrative review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses. Papers included in the review focused upon integrated care within palliative care systems (January 2007–2017). A certain number of papers were excluded when the review focused on individuals younger than 65, not written in English and not being focused on integrated palliative care. Findings Nine studies fitted the inclusion criteria and three themes were identified: person-centred care, co-ordination of care, and education and training. The review identifies that integrated palliative care requires co-ordinated techniques that focus upon the quality of life, individual needs and awareness of vulnerability rather than fixation on inevitable mortality. Research limitations/implications The emerging presence of the need for integrated palliative care requires further research in order to develop coherent models of integrated palliative care which can be incorporated into practice. Originality/value This review identified themes relevant to the emerging issues in the global health sector of end of life care. The literature suggests that the optimised use of an integrated care approach to a palliative model of care is required and in need of further investigation.
