How do healthcare professionals on non-palliative care wards perceive quality of care in the dying phase? Personal and organizational predictors identified in a cross-sectional study
Perceived quality of interprofessional patient-centered teamwork was the most clinically relevant predictor in this model, as it had the strongest association and was modifiable. Age and profession were significant, non-modifiable predictors but can be considered when implementing interventions. As improving the perceived quality of care in the dying phase could be beneficial for dying patients, interventions strengthening interprofessional patient-centered teamwork should be implemented on non-palliative care hospital wards.
