Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Gerontology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • The definition and naming of reflexive hospice care (RHC) are inconsistent, limiting its effective implementation.
  • Clarifying the concept of RHC is crucial for its appropriate application in end-of-life care settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and clarify the concept of reflexive hospice care (RHC).
  • To identify the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of RHC.
  • To establish a foundation for RHC's application in hospice and palliative care.

Main Methods:

  • Concept analysis using Walker and Avant's model.
  • Systematic literature review adhering to PRISMA principles.

Main Results:

  • Reflexive hospice care (RHC) is characterized by reciprocal support (verbal, actional, spiritual, material), reverse care provision from patient to others, and a bidirectional flow of love.
  • Antecedents include terminal patients' intent and knowledge, strong emotional bonds, and healthcare professionals' RHC expertise.
  • Consequences encompass improved patient quality of life, reduced family member distress, and enhanced societal understanding of life and death.

Conclusions:

  • Reflexive hospice care (RHC) positively impacts patients, families, healthcare providers, and society.
  • Developing RHC strategies, assessment tools, and educational programs is essential for wider adoption.
  • Implementing RHC can lead to better quality of life for terminally ill patients and more peaceful end-of-life experiences.
