Soins. 2021 May;66(855):51. doi: 10.1016/S0038-0814(21)00133-X.ABSTRACTThe covid-19 crisis has repercussions on student nurses’ training. Many have found themselves on the frontline, confronted with complex and difficult situations to manage, without always having the right support. They have therefore had to learn the palliative care approach on the job, day-to-day, working with the patients.PMID:34103138 | DOI:10.1016/S0038-0814(21)00133-X

Soins. 2021 May;66(855):22-25. doi: 10.1016/S0038-0814(21)00123-7.ABSTRACTThe palliative care approach concerns all healthcare professionals involved in patient care and support. In the current context of health crisis, collaboration between medical and non-medical teams, particularly nurses, and the use of anticipatory tools must be developed and particular attention paid to care home residents and their families. Global reflection is required, to give back meaning to care and ensure the human and relational aspects are taken into consideration.PMID:34103128 | DOI:10.1016/S0038-0814(21)00123-7

Palliat Med. 2021 Jun;35(6):1158-1169. doi: 10.1177/02692163211013666.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Comparative effectiveness of different types of palliative homecare is sparsely researched internationally-despite its potential to inform necessary decisions in palliative care infrastructure development. In Germany, specialized palliative homecare delivered by multi-professional teams has increased in recent years and factors beyond medical need seem to drive its involvement and affect the application of primary palliative care, delivered by general practitioners who are supported by nursing services.AIM: To compare effectiveness of primary palliative care and specialized palliative homecare in reducing potentially aggressive interventions at the end-of-life in cancer and non-cancer.DESIGN: Retrospective population-based study with claims data…

BMC Med Educ. 2021 Jun 4;21(1):318. doi: 10.1186/s12909-021-02745-1.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Cultural and linguistic diversity in patients and their relatives represents a challenge for clinical practice in palliative care around the world. Cross-cultural training for palliative care professionals is still scarce, and research can help determine and support the implementation of appropriate training. In Switzerland, health policies address diversity and equity issues, and there is a need for educational research on cross-cultural training in palliative care. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical challenges faced by Swiss palliative care professionals when working with migrant patients and their relatives. We also…
