Area of Science:

  • Geriatrics
  • Palliative Care
  • Bioethics

Background:

  • Geriatric palliative care emphasizes a patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach, integrating social, ethical, and medical aspects.
  • Fragmented care models are inadequate for older patients with chronic diseases facing complex end-of-life challenges.
  • End-of-life care involves intricate decisions, symptom management, psychosocial issues, and spiritual distress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the application of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) in geriatric palliative care.
  • To highlight the need for enhanced collaboration among healthcare professionals in palliative care.
  • To identify research gaps regarding CGA in hospice and palliative care settings.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and guidelines on Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA).
  • Analysis of the principles of geriatric palliative care.
  • Discussion of the challenges in end-of-life care for older adults.

Main Results:

  • Recent Italian guidelines on CGA have been published.
  • No studies met inclusion criteria for CGA application in hospice or palliative care facilities.
  • A significant need for research on multidimensional approaches in these settings was identified.

Conclusions:

  • The integration of CGA into geriatric palliative care requires further investigation.
  • Enhanced collaboration among doctors, nurses, and social workers is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
  • The findings provide a foundation for dialogue on improving CGA use in palliative care for older adults.
