Article Synopsis
- This review examines how older individuals living at home interact with healthcare professionals regarding advance care planning and aims to enhance end-of-life care discussions.
- It highlights the need for healthcare providers to initiate these important conversations more effectively, as community-dwelling older adults often miss out on these opportunities compared to those in institutional settings.
- The review includes 5 qualitative studies published between 2017 and 2022, all demonstrating a reasonably high quality according to established appraisal metrics.
Background: Internationally, the demand for the provision of high-quality palliative care is increasing exponentially. Japan is a rapidly ageing society and it is therefore important to understand the current context to develop practice and inform future resource allocation in long-term care facilities (LTCFs).
Aim: To describe the broad context of palliative care services, practice, education and policies in LTCFs in Japan.
Background: Given the increase in the number of deaths within long-term care facilities (LTCFs), the need for palliative and end-of-life (EOL) care education among such facilities has been increasing. As such, a systematic synthesis of global palliative and EOL care educational approaches and evaluation can aid further educational development.
Objective: To synthesise the current literature on palliative and EOL care educational interventions for staff working in LTCFs and identify barriers to, and facilitators of, intervention implementation.
Objective: The objective of this qualitative systematic review is to evaluate and synthesize the recent literature on advance care planning (ACP) experiences of community-dwelling older people in interaction with community healthcare professionals.
Introduction: The importance of healthcare professionals initiating ACP with their patients and clients has been reported. However, older people who live in the community have fewer opportunities to have discussions regarding ACP with healthcare professionals compared with those who live in other settings.
