Conceptualizing end-of-life communication by nursing staff as part of advance care planning with older people: A multiple discipline focus group study
Nursing staff, typically very proactive professionals, may need to step back, reflect, remain silent, and sit down to connect with older people and family caregivers. The revised theoretical framework can help nursing staff become aware of, learn from, prepare for, engage in, and evaluate person-centered end-of-life communication that respects the values, needs, and preferences of the older person, their family caregivers, and themselves.
