Title Palliative care: Palliative care philosophy in care homes: Lessons from New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication British Journal of Nursing Abbreviated Journal (down)
Volume 12 Issue 16 Pages 974-979
Keywords Palliative care; Attitude of health personnel
Abstract Drawing on data from a large convenience sample of caregivers in New Zealand, this article argues for a reappraisal of the way in which care homes view death and dying and advocates the more widespread adoption of a palliative care philosophy. Increasing numbers of people are dying in care homes yet little is known about the nature and quality of their deaths. The limited research available suggests that there is a need to promote a philosophy of palliative care that is not confined to the terminal phase of life. However, adopting such an approach appears to be inhibited by a lack of understanding, education and training, as well as continuing reluctance to discuss issues of death and dying in an open and honest way.
