Journal Article
Professionals need to discuss more effectively the holistic needs of their patients regarding palliative care
2018
Overview
Where it is appropriate to have open conversations about death and dying, this can be worthwhile for patients to encourage uptake of palliative care services and end-of-life care planning. Context A key element of good end-of-life care is effective communication.1 However, there is a hesitance among professionals to use the term ‘palliative care’ and to discuss related issues, not least because it is assumed that patients will become distressed and lose hope. An exploratory qualitative design was used, interviewing 30 patients with cancer, recruited from inpatient and outpatient services of oncology, haematology and palliative care.
