Improving Perinatal Palliative Care in the Communities: A Regional Population-Based Study
This study highlights the challenges of implementing perinatal palliative care in communities. The prolonged decision-making process associated with comfort care may reflect the significant psychological burden on families. Factors such as care plans influence family burden, emphasizing the need for individualized support. The absence of specialized support and low rates of transition to home care for end-of-life care are critical issue for improvement in community-based perinatal palliative care.
