Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Gerontology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Home-based palliative care is crucial for advanced cancer patients.
  • Nurses face unique challenges in delivering palliative care within the home setting.
  • Understanding the socio-cultural context is vital for effective care provision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the experiences of nurses providing palliative care to Canadian seniors with advanced cancer.
  • To examine the client/caregiver/care-provider relationships within the socio-cultural context of home-based palliative care.
  • To identify relational practice patterns and tensions experienced by nurses.

Main Methods:

  • Focused ethnographic study design.
  • In-depth interviews with 19 palliative care nurses.
  • Participant observations in four households over 6-8 months.

Main Results:

  • Home-based palliative care nursing is a dialectical experience.
  • Three relational practice patterns identified: making time-forfeiting time, connecting-withdrawing, and enabling-disabling.
  • Nurses actively negotiated tensions between these opposing approaches.

Conclusions:

  • The sociocultural context of home-based palliative care is not conducive to high-quality care.
  • Findings offer insights for improving practice, policy, and future research in palliative care.
  • Addressing contextual barriers is essential for enhancing patient and caregiver outcomes.
