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. The healthcare system should integrate PC as part of the regular service for patients with severe stroke to shift the focus of care from survival to promotion of comfort. 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

Standardizing Communications Improves Use of Palliative Care in Patients With Stroke
Patients who have sustained a severe stroke have immediate palliative care needs, and poor communication is a gap in quality that increases length of stay (LOS) and costs, which decreases efficient resource utilization. To standardize communication between families and treatment teams in the intensive care unit (ICU) and demonstrate improvement in LOS and costs, a communication bundle was prospectively implemented in 22 patients and compared against a retrospective control arm of 22 patients. The intervention group demonstrated significant improvement in median ICU and hospital LOS and ICU costs.

Innovation of the governance of integrated care
Aim: Interest in integrated care is growing. This is reflected in the rising numbers of scientific publications, IJIC ’s increased impact factor and the increasing number of participants at IFIC’s international conferences. It is stimulating to see that organizations like the World Health Organisation are developing conceptual frameworks that embrace integrated care [1,2]. At the same time we know that integrat ed care does not become reality automatically; it takes a long timeframe. That can be conflicting with ambitions like ‘implementing good practices as fast as possible’ and with the pressure to deliver result...

Palliative Care and Stroke: An Integrative Review of the Literature
Stroke survivors often experience life-altering functional and cognitive changes and burdensome symptoms. Palliative care could provide additional support to improve outcomes of stroke patients and their families. The purpose of this review was to describe how palliative care is conceptualized and implemented within stroke care. An integrative review of the literature published between 1990 and 2016 using the terms “palliative care,” “stroke,” or “acute stroke” was conducted. Of the 363 articles identified, 44 were screened, 21 met inclusion criteria, and 2 additional articles were identified through reference...

Optimising palliative and end-of-life care within care home settings
Background The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined palliative care as an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual.1 Globally, it is estimated that every year over 20 million people will require palliative care at the end of life. Of these 69% are adults over 60 years. These older population, who make up the vast majority of residents w...
