About this episode

This episode features Dr Madhurangi Perera (Cancer and Palliative Care Outcomes Centre, School of Nursing and  Australia Centre for Healthcare Transformation, Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, QLD, Australia)

 

What is already known about the topic?

  • Providing palliative and supportive care in the home setting for people with heart failure is advantageous because care can be provided in accordance with an individual’s way of life.
  • Home-based palliative and supportive care for people with heart failure has the potential to improve person and caregiver outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

 

What this paper adds?

  • The components of home-based palliative and supportive care are symptom management; expert communication; multidisciplinary team involvement; continuity of care; education; end-of-life discussions; and caregiver support.
  • While initiation of care, the services provided in the home-setting and health care approaches provided differed across the reported studies, in all included studies, nursing staff were strategically placed to provide a wide range of services in the home-setting.
  • Continuous and early liaison between cardiology, palliative care and primary care providers is needed to provide continuous, non-fragmented care.

 

Implications for practice, theory, or policy

  • The detailed findings of this review which highlight the components of home-based palliative and supportive care can provide guidance to enable health care providers to tailor care for this population.
  • Future research into the perspectives of people with heart failure on each of the identified components and their implementation will assist service providers to gain a better understanding of how to enable home-based palliative and supportive care for persons with heart failure.
