Person-centred approach for people with learning disabilities in palliative care: the challenges

This qualitative meta-synthesis identifies the challenges of achieving person-centred care for PWLD and palliative care needs. It draws attention to person-centred theory and how this supports good person-centred care for PWLD. This paper went further to identify how person-centred theory links with the wider context of healthcare practice while exploring recommendations to improve practice and gaps in research.

Abstract

This qualitative meta-synthesis identifies the challenges of achieving person-centred care for PWLD and palliative care needs. It draws attention to person-centred theory and how this supports good person-centred care for PWLD. This paper went further to identify how person-centred theory links with the wider context of healthcare practice while exploring recommendations to improve practice and gaps in research.
