Factors Influencing Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviour Towards Engaging with Advance Care Planning: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Chinese Diaspora.

Objective: Advance care planning (ACP) is increasingly recognized as a public health priority globally, with cultural aspects influencing people's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours toward ACP. Despite being one of the largest diaspora groups, the Chinese community remains under-researched in this area. This study aims to examine the knowledge, attitudes, and health behaviours related to ACP among Chinese diaspora within a region in the United Kingdom.

Building public engagement and access to palliative care and advance care planning: a qualitative study.

Background: Research evidence suggests that a lack of engagement with palliative care and advance care planning could be attributed to a lack of knowledge, presence of misconceptions and stigma within the general public. However, the importance of how death, dying and bereavement are viewed and experienced has been highlighted as an important aspect in enabling public health approaches to palliative care. Therefore, research which explores the public views on strategies to facilitate engagement with palliative care and advance care planning is required.

Leadership practices that enable healthful cultures in clinical practice: A realist evaluation.

Aim: To generate, test and refine programme theories that emerged from a rapid realist review investigating practising UK Nurses' and Midwives' experiences of effective leadership strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Culture, ethnicity, and socio-economic status as determinants of the management of patients with advanced heart failure who need palliative care: A clinical consensus statement from the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the ESC, the ESC Patient Forum, and the European Association of Palliative Care.

The delivery of effective healthcare entails the configuration and resourcing of health economies to address the burden of disease, including acute and chronic heart failure, that affects local populations. Increasing migration is leading to more multicultural and ethnically diverse societies worldwide, with migration research suggesting that minority populations are often subject to discrimination, socio-economic disadvantage, and inequity of access to optimal clinical support. Within these contexts, the provision of person-centred care requires medical and nursing staff to be aware of and become adept in navigating the nuances of cultural diversity, and how that can impact some individuals and families entrusted to their care.

Background: For many older people the emergency department (ED) is an important but sometimes difficult step in their healthcare journey. They often attend the ED with co and multi morbidities. Discharge home at evenings and weekends when post-discharge support services are limited can result in a delay or failure to follow through on their discharge plan leading to adverse health outcomes and in some cases, readmission to ED.

The impact of covid-19 on out-of-hours adult hospice care: an online survey.

Background: Globally COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the provision of healthcare, including palliative care.

Initiation of paediatric advance care planning: Cross-sectional survey of health professionals reported behaviour.

Background: Globally, initiation of paediatric advance care planning discussions is advocated early in the illness trajectory; however, evidence suggests it occurs at crisis points or close to end of life. Few studies have been undertaken to ascertain the prevalence and determinants of behaviour related to initiation by the healthcare professional.

Method: Underpinned by the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) model for behaviour change, a cross-sectional online survey was conducted in United Kingdom and Ireland using a purposive sample of health professionals.

Parents' experiences of initiation of paediatric advance care planning discussions: a qualitative study.

Advance care planning enables parents to discuss their goal and wishes for the future treatment and care of their life-limited or life-threatened child. Whilst research has identified the barriers clinicians face to initiate such discussions, the views of the parents have received scant attention. This qualitative study, using reflexive thematic analysis, aimed to explore parents' experience of the initiation of their child's advance care planning discussions, to help provide an understanding to inform future practice.

Arts engagement facilitated by artists with individuals with life-limiting illness: A systematic integrative review of the literature.
