Palliat Support Care. 2025 Oct 29;23:e194. doi: 10.1017/S1478951525100813.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVES: Palliative care enhances life, but rural Australia faces significant inequities, and psychosocial distress, an important yet often overlooked aspect, is under-recognized in these settings. This study examines how psychosocial distress evolves in rural palliative patients using the Death and Dying Distress Scale (DADDS).METHODS: A longitudinal study was conducted with palliative care patients in rural hospitals on Australia’s east coast. Distress levels were measured using DADDS at multiple timepoints. Mixed-effects models assessed distress trajectories, while survival analyses (Weibull model) examined whether average distress changes predicted survival duration. For comparability, DADDS scores in mixed-effects…

BMC Palliat Care. 2025 Oct 28;24(1):274. doi: 10.1186/s12904-025-01909-w.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: The aging population and rising prevalence of chronic illnesses emphasize the importance of palliative care (PC), which focuses on enhancing patients’ quality of life (QoL) while supporting their families and caregivers. PC integrates multidisciplinary interventions to alleviate the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual suffering of individuals facing serious or terminal illnesses. Concurrently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) advancements have been transforming the healthcare sector, particularly through Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS). Leveraged by advanced algorithms and machine learning (ML), these tools analyze large volumes of data to support diagnostics, personalized treatments, and early interventions.…

BMC Palliat Care. 2025 Oct 28;24(1):273. doi: 10.1186/s12904-025-01913-0.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Nurses play an important role in caring for patients in palliative care and they need sufficient palliative care competence. Additionally, the need for palliative care is increasing. Therefore, palliative care and end-of-life care is one of the fields where nurses’ specialisation education is needed the most. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of postgraduate specialist education on nurses’ palliative care competence and the association between participants’ age or work experiences and changes in their palliative care competencies.METHODS: The data were collected through electronic surveys at the beginning and…

Medicina (Kaunas). 2025 Oct 19;61(10):1876. doi: 10.3390/medicina61101876.ABSTRACTBackground and Objectives: Some cancer patients in palliative care need to access intravenous administration of medications to relieve symptoms. Few studies have explicitly assessed the safety and feasibility of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion at bedside in palliative care settings. In this study, we suggest the usefulness, safety, and feasibility of bedside ultrasound-guided PICC placement as a tool for improvement in the quality of life for patients in palliative and hospice care settings. Materials and Methods: The study population, with terminal cancer and admitted to a palliative and hospice care unit in the…
