Shared decision-making in palliative cancer care: A systematic review and metasynthesis
CONCLUSION: Shared decision-making in palliative cancer care is a complex process of many decisions in a challenging, multifaceted and evolving situation where equipoise and choice are limited. Implications for practice: Implementing shared decision-making in clinical practice requires (1) clarifying conceptual confusion, (2) including members of the interprofessional team in the shared decision-making process and (3) adapting the approach to the ambiguous, existential situations which arise in palliative cancer care.PMID:38481012 | DOI:10.1177/02692163241238384 (Source: Palliative Medicine)

However, this approach is often not used well.

Creating more comparable cohorts in observational palliative care studies: A proposed framework to improve applicability and replicability of research
DISCUSSION: Anchoring the cohort to reproducible data points will help create more comparable cohorts in palliative care whilst mitigating its inherent heterogeneity. This, in turn, will help optimise the generalisability, applicability and reproducibility of observational palliative care studies to strengthen the evidence base and improve practice.PMID:38454317 | DOI:10.1177/02692163241234227 (Source: Palliative Medicine)

Experiences of music therapy in paediatric palliative care from multiple stakeholder perspectives: A systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis
CONCLUSION: Music therapy provides unique benefits for this paediatric population particularly in supporting child and family wellbeing. The therapeutic relationship, interpersonal skills of the therapist and experience in paediatric palliative care are perceived as central to these positive outcomes.PMID:38450624 | DOI:10.1177/02692163241230664 (Source: Palliative Medicine)

'My life is a mess but I cope': An analysis of the language children and young people use to describe their own life-limiting or life-threatening condition
CONCLUSION/DISCUSSION: Children and young people can provide rich descriptions of their condition. Paying attention to their lexical choices, and converging one's language towards theirs, may enable more child-centred discussions. Expanding discussions about 'what matters most' with consideration of the losses and differences they have experienced may facilitate a fuller assessment of their concerns, preferences and priorities.PMID:38439152 | DOI:10.1177/02692163241233977 (Source: Palliative Medicine)

Subcutaneous sodium valproate in palliative care: A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: There are limited data on the use of subcutaneous sodium valproate in palliative care. However, palliative symptoms for which subcutaneous sodium valproate have been used successfully are seizures and neuropathic pain. The available data have described few adverse effects, supporting its use with an appropriate degree of caution.PMID:38444061 | DOI:10.1177/02692163241234597 (Source: Palliative Medicine)
