Perspective of healthcare professionals on barriers and facilitators in exploring end-of-life care preferences of patients with pulmonary fibrosis: A qualitative study
This study underscores the importance of behavioral and organizational change in palliative care to optimize conversations exploring values, preferences, and needs for end-of-life care for patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Leveraging the shared motivation of healthcare professionals to provide optimal care, integrating these findings into training and coaching programs can further enhance patient-centered approach in palliative care.
