Area of Science:

Nursing
Palliative Care
Healthcare Management

Background:

Hospitalized patients often prefer end-of-life care at home.
Primary care nurses face challenges in providing home-based terminal care, including discharge planning and communication.
The Acute Basic Palliation Concept was developed to facilitate safe home discharge and enhance nurses' capacity for quality terminal care.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore nurses' experiences with the Acute Basic Palliation Concept.
To evaluate the concept's influence on the quality of home-based terminal care.
To identify facilitators and barriers to implementing the concept in practice.

Main Methods:

Qualitative study involving fifteen semi-structured interviews with nurses.
Thematic analysis was used to analyze the interview data.
The Acute Basic Palliation Concept includes a discharge checklist, medical supplies, nursing guidelines, a medication tool, and patient/relative information.

Main Results:

Nurses reported streamlined workflows, allowing greater focus on patient-centered care.
The concept facilitated effective and timely symptom relief for patients.
Enhanced communication and information flow improved inter-sectoral collaboration and reduced patient/relative stress.

Conclusions:

The Acute Basic Palliation Concept shows potential to improve coordinated, person-centered home-based terminal care by addressing common barriers.
Further education in palliative symptom management may be necessary to fully optimize the concept's implementation.
The concept supports nurses in providing better end-of-life care at home, improving patient and family experiences.
