End-of-life dignity in Home Hospice: Insights from staff members’ narratives
HH care presents unique challenges in preserving EoL dignity but also offers opportunities for dignity-centered care. Respecting patients' and families' autonomy and individuality through targeted strategies can enhance dignified care. These insights underscore the need to embed dignity-preserving strategies into HH protocols and promote reflective training to heighten staff awareness of dignity violations while reinforcing their strengths in upholding patient and family dignity.
