Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Health Services Research
  • Qualitative Study

Background:

  • Palliative day care services offer respite and access to care for patients with palliative needs.
  • These services are often under-resourced and under-researched, despite their importance.
  • Understanding their contribution to client care is vital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the contribution of palliative day care services to client care.
  • To gather perspectives from management and hospice multidisciplinary teams.
  • To identify challenges and benefits of current palliative day care models.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive qualitative study design was employed.
  • Six focus groups were conducted with 35 participants (management and staff) across three UK hospices.
  • Thematic analysis was used to analyze transcribed discussions.

Main Results:

  • Four key themes emerged: variations in care, referral inconsistencies, service strengths/challenges, and an uncertain future.
  • The model of care and service benefits were central discussion points.
  • The need to demonstrate service effectiveness and value for money was emphasized.

Conclusions:

  • Palliative day services are valued as an introduction to palliative care, offering social and medical support.
  • Economic pressures and patient demand are driving a shift from social to hybrid care models.
  • Further research is required to ascertain the effectiveness of these evolving services.
