This study conducts a qualitative meta-synthesis to identify the needs of nurses and describe their experiences when caring for palliative patients. The findings highlight the importance of establishing a support system, strengthening education, and creating clearer referral criteria and systems to improve home care for palliative patients.
Objective(s): We conducted a qualitative meta-synthesis of qualitative studies on nurses' experiences when caring for palliative patients to (1) identify the needs of nurses and (2) describe their experiences to provide more in-depth information. Methods: Qualitative articles published in English from 2000 to 2022 were identified from several databases through a searching strategy. Authors screened through the title, abstract, and full text of relevant studies. Articles were read repeatedly and discussed. The thematic analysis methodology was adopted to analyze the data. Results: Of 967 articles, 22 were included in our review. Notions reflecting community nurses providing palliative home care were clustered into four themes: (1) nature of community-based palliative nursing, (2) teamwork, (3) relationship with patient and family, and (4) resources. Findings also suggest establishing a sound support system, strengthening palliative education, and creating more decisive referral criteria and systems. Conclusions: The growing need for palliative home care has become challenging for community health care systems. Our study summarized various aspects of nurses providing home-based palliative care. The findings provide information for health care and education settings to improve home care systems and recruit more staff to meet the needs.
