The CARES tool: Development and applications
2013
Overview
The CARES tool is an acronym organized educational guide that addresses the most common symptom management needs of the dying: Comfort, Airway, Restlessness and delirium, Emotional and spiritual support, and Self-care. It is intended to supplement previously obtained end-of-life care education by providing suggestions and prompts on individualized patient and family-driven evidence-based care of the dying, identifying common teaching and communication needs, and encouraging holistic support during the last few days to hours of a patient's life. The theoretical foundation of the CARES tool is based on Pamela Reed's theory of Self-Transcendence as spirituality, promotion of patient dignity and value, and the vital role of caregiver communication and humanity and are all indispensable to compassionate evidence-based care of the dying. Key words: Dying; self-transcendence, suffering; end of life; palliative care; psychosocial support; and end-of-life symptom management.
