Development of a logic model to support a network approach in delivering 24/7 children's palliative care: part two
1Nurse Consultant Children's Palliative Care, East Anglia's Children's Hospices, Milton, Cambridge, UK.
Background:
This is the second of a two-part article that discusses a research project that aimed to develop and evaluate a 24/7 symptom-management service for children with palliative care needs and a nursing logic model to enable a novel service approach to be generalised and replicated.
Results:
Findings demonstrated that the service standards were met and exceeded expectations. Families valued the role, which enabled choice in location of care and perceived the service as a 'lifeline'.
Discussion:
Team composition with the right level of specialist and advanced nursing skills, anticipating symptom-management planning, clinical supervision and funded on-call processes were key success criteria. The nursing logic model demonstrated relationships between context investments into the service and outcomes for children and families.
