Background: Older people living with multimorbidity are projected to become the main recipients of palliative care in the coming decades, yet there is limited evidence regarding their expressed palliative care needs to inform person-centred care.
Aim: To understand the palliative care needs of community-dwelling people aged ⩾60 living with multimorbidity in the last 2 years of life.
Design: A scoping review following Arksey and O'Malley.
Background: The population of frail elders is growing, and due to their vulnerability to sudden deterioration, advance care planning is particularly important. However, advance care planning is uncommon for multiple reasons, some of which are linked to the perceptions of frail elders and their families.
Aim: To explore the barriers and enablers to advance care planning engagement with frail elders.
Background: Facilitating advance care planning with community-dwelling frail elders can be challenging. Notably, frail elders' vulnerability to sudden deterioration leads to uncertainty in recognising the timing and focus of advance care planning conversations.
Aim: To understand how advance care planning can be better implemented for community-dwelling frail elders and to develop a conceptual model to underpin intervention development.
Background:: The frail older population is growing, and many frail older people have episodes of acute illness. Patient preferences are increasingly considered important in the delivery of person-centred care and may change following acute illness.
Aim:: To explore influences on the care preferences of frail older people with recent acute illness.
