This research brief explores the EOL care and bereavement needs of family members whose loved ones have recently died in a LTC home.
The aim of the study is to (a) compare differences across occupational groups related to their palliative care-specific educational needs and to (b) explore the intensity of Inter-Professional Collaborative Approach in LTC
An increasing number of residents require a palliative approach to care in long-term care (LTC) homes; these settings are ill-prepared and often provide sub-optimal palliative care. The SPA-LTC program is a novel intervention that addresses these issues by building capacity among LTC staff to improve the delivery
of a palliative approach.
This study seeks to expand upon the efforts being made to support resident comfort in LTC homes by determining what aspects of EOL care are associated with a caregiver’s perceptions of a ‘good’ resident death.
