Diversity-sensitive palliative and hospice care in Germany – awareness, attitudes, and measures taken by service providers

The surveyed palliative and hospice care facilities often did not address patient diversity sufficiently. Although a larger share of the respondents was generally aware of the need for diversity-sensitive care to improve patient orientation, corresponding structures and services were not commonly available. To address existing barriers, efforts to further raise awareness, as well as support measures to help facilities implement diversity-sensitive concepts are necessary.
