Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on developing a palliative care goals model for individuals with dementia, emphasizing the importance of psychosocial and spiritual aspects at the end of life.
- An international Delphi study, involving researchers and a diverse panel, rated various care goals to reach consensus on the model's components, which includes comfort, control, identity, and grief support.
- The resulting model reflects the evolving needs of dementia patients and families, but there was no agreement on adding life prolongation as a goal, indicating a need for further exploration in this area.
