Palliative Care for Older Adults Hospitalized for Stroke From the Informal Caregivers' Perspectives: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS: The high care demand for patients with stroke is a defining feature of stroke PC and should be recognized in addition to its prognosis estimation to promote this concept.

A discussion of the dying process requires sensitivity and should be approached in a discussion of advanced PC planning, which views death as a meaningful transition.PMID:37027138 | DOI:10.1097/JCN.0000000000000923
