Abstract:
This paper reports the results of a national survey of palliative care nurses conducted following a meeting of nurses at the Fifth Canadian Palliative Care Association Conference in 1993. The intent of the survey was to obtain information about Canadian palliative care nurses's perceptions of practice and professional issues. Eighty percent of respondents believed that palliative care nurses should form a palliative care nurses’ organization, with the majority recommending that this occur under the auspices of the Canadian Palliative Care Association. Key issues of importance to palliative care nurses were identified. The two major issues of concern were (a) the need to develop standards of practice and (b) educational needs of palliative care nurses. Respondents also emphasized the importance of maintaining and fostering an interdisciplinary approach to palliative care. Results of this survey are to be further discussed at the Sixth Canadian Palliative Care Association Conference to be held in Halifax in October 1995.

Abstract:
This multi-sited ethnography focuses on beliefs and practices associated with death, dying, and palliative care among the Low German-Speaking (LGS) Mennonites. The qualitative data, collected through participant-observation fieldwork and interviews conducted in three LGS Mennonite communities in Mexico and Canada, show a gap between official definitions of palliative care and its practice in real life. The LGS Mennonites’ care for their dying members, in reality, is integrated into their community lives that emphasize or reinforce discipleship by promoting the practices of mutual aid, social networks, and brotherhood/sisterhood among community members. This study also offers ethnographic insights into some difficulties that healthcare providers face while delivering the “holistic” palliative care services to their patients in general, and to the LGS Mennonites in particular. Finally, it provides some suggestions that may aid healthcare providers in developing culturally safe and competent health care services for the LGS Mennonite people living in Canada.

Abstract:
The spiritual care provided by nurses is not obvious. The literature on spiritual care within the context of palliative care nursing is sparse and contradictory. None of the research is from the Canadian perspective. Thus, this project examined the meanings made by palliative care nurses as they provided spiritual care to people who were dying at home. This qualitative study utilized the methodology of the naturalistic inquiry. From a population of 47 Canadian palliative care nurses who provided home nursing in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, six nurses participated in semi-structured conversations about their experience of providing spiritual care within the context of palliative care. Three major themes emerged : the nurses' focus of spiritual care on the time surrounding the dying and the death; the nurses' beliefs about spirituality, religion, and their own work; and the nurses' evaluation of their caregiving as evidenced by the 'Good Death'. The nature of the nurses' spiritual care was of guiding, doing the unusual, relating to distress as well as relating to the one cared-for with love and friendship. The nature of the spiritual care is discussed from the perspective of caring as moral grounding and cultural imperative. Consideration is given to empowering nurses through liberating the ethic of care. What the nurses know about spiritual caregiving is looked at through the framework of the art of nursing, the nurses' beliefs about spirituality, and the hidden work of nursing. As well, the nurses' evaluation of their spiritual caregiving resulting in 'good death' and 'death with dignity' is explored. Noting incongruence between the nurses' personal beliefs and religiosity and what they want for their patients, the author offers the possibility that caregiving itself has become the religious expression of the nurses. Implications for nursing encompass the education of nurses, the practice of nursing, as well as the inclusion of nursing knowledge at the policy and budgetary levels. Nursing education must change, from talking about wholistic care, to teaching how to care for the whole person by including care of the spirit in the curriculum. Nurses who have knowledge and experience in caring for spiritual distress need to share their knowledge and start the process of mentoring other nurses into the practice of truly wholistic care. As well, nurses must become advocates and educators at the institutional and governing levels in order that human needs, including spiritual needs, are included in the decision making about health care policy and budgets

Abstract:
The goal of the dissertation research was to understand and conceptualize the process of developing palliative care in rural communities from the perspective of health care providers. Canadian research about rural palliative care is timely and important. Since 1995, two Senate committees and two national reviews of the health care system have called for increased access to palliative care throughout Canada. Several provinces have subsequently launched strategies aimed at improving access to palliative or end-of-life care; however practical models for developing rural programs are lacking. This research contributes to improving access to palliative care for people dying in rural Canada by generating practical and theoretical knowledge about developing local programs in rural communities. Data were transcripts of nine group interviews of interdisciplinary providers involved in providing rural palliative care in six different provinces and territories of Canada. The outcome of the research was an original model called Developing Rural Palliative Care that conceptualized four sequential and incremental phases of development: antecedent community conditions, a catalyst, creating the team and growing the program. The model articulates the major processes and activities within each phase. Throughout the developmental process, the nature of the rural community both supported the work of providers and created their challenges. Working together and being community-focused emerged as the overarching keys to success. Most of the palliative care work utilized existing local resources. Throughout the analysis, the research used ideas of community capacity development as sensitizing concepts. The research concluded that developing palliative care can be understood and represented as a process of community capacity development, offering an innovative way of thinking about developing health services that can guide the process of implementing palliative care services. Ultimately, the research findings suggest that access to palliative care can be improved in rural communities by creating local palliative care teams and supporting them to develop services.

Full text
Abstract:
Although there is a growing movement to conceptualize palliative care as an integral part of comprehensive cancer care, access to coordinated palliative care services is often limited to end-of-life when efforts to control the disease have failed. Little was known about how this phenomenon is experienced in oncology nursing practice. A phenomenological approach was used to explore oncology nurses experience providing non-curative care in one of six outpatient cancer settings within an urban health region in Western Canada. Emerging understandings suggest that oncology nurses support patients‟ hopes for prolonged survival with non-curative treatment while revisiting treatment decisions in the context of witnessed suffering. In the context of mounting symptoms, oncology nurses strive to construct a „safety net‟ of community supports to rescue patients from crisis. Inherent tensions within this experience are shaped by how cancer care and palliative care are understood, how treatment decisions are framed within their care team, and organizational constraints in the provision of services in the community. These understandings invite further discussion about strategies to support oncology nursing practice in the provision of non-curative care.

Abstract:
Relief from pain and distressing symptoms associated with a life limiting illness is an issue relevant to all Canadians. Provision of high quality care for persons nearing the end of life may improve the health and quality of life of the person and affects the health and well-being of members of their informal support network including family, friends, and caregivers. Palliative care, a person-centered approach to care for persons faced with a life limiting illness and their informal support network, focuses on the ‘total person’ or ‘whole self’ addressing the multifaceted complex needs of each person on an individualized basis. Palliative care is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be “achieved through prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification, comprehensive assessment, and treatment of pain and physical, psychosocial, or spiritual problems” (World Health Organization [WHO], 2010). The palliative care philosophy prioritizes self-determination of the person and supports their engagement in the care planning and decision making process across the illness trajectory. Approximately one fifth of persons who die annually experience unrelieved suffering (Doyle & Woodruff, 2013). Persons nearing the end-of-life face can face a wide range of challenges that may include: uncontrollable pain and physical symptoms, unresolved and emotionally distressing psycho-social issues, and fear of one’s own mortality and of an unknown future. Nearly two thirds of Canadians who die each year may benefit from palliative care (Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association [CHPCA], 2010), however only approximately one in eight of those persons are able to access palliative care services (Carstairs & Beaudoin, 2000). Comprehensive clinical assessment supports clinicians to make evidence-informed decisions and promotes a person-centered approach to care planning. The interRAI Palliative Care assessment instrument (interRAI PC) is a comprehensive standardized assessment instrument, designed for use by facility and community based palliative care services, with applications that include care planning, outcome measurement, quality monitoring, and resource allocation (Hirdes et al., 1999; Steel, et al., 2003; Gray, et al., 2009; Hirdes et al., 2008). Using pilot data gathered from the interRAI PC, this thesis examines the potential use of interRAI PC assessment data, and in particular how evidence from the interRAI PC Clinical Assessment Protocols (CAPs) has the potential to inform individualized care plan development for persons with a life limiting illness. This thesis begins with a scoping literature search that describes palliative care in a Canadian context and explores care planning with the interRAI PC. This is followed by three research based chapters (Chapters 6, 7, and 8) that include analysis based on pilot data gathered between 2006 and 2011 using the interRAI PC assessment instrument. Community dwelling persons with a life limiting illness receiving palliative home care services in six geographic locations across Ontario, Canada, were included in these analyses. Persons with a life limiting illness residing in institutional or hospice facilities, or in jurisdictions outside of Ontario, were excluded. Analyses were performed using SAS Version 9.2 with an alpha level of p< 0.05 for all statistical tests unless otherwise stated. The University of Waterloo’s Office of Research Ethics granted ethics clearance for this research (ORE# 19424) November 29th, 2013. The first research chapter (Chapter 6) describes how clinicians may use the interRAI PC Clinical Assessment Protocols (CAPs) to inform care planning. It includes an overview of the suite of eight CAPs and provides a background description of the CAP development process. Discussion addresses the unique distributional characteristics of each CAP and describes a hierarchical triggering structure. Following, chapter six which provides an overview of the interRAI PC CAPs from a broad perspective; chapter seven (the second research chapter) takes a more in-depth focus investigating the Dyspnea CAP. Dyspnea was selected as the symptom of focus because it is the one of the most commonly triggered CAPs affecting nearly half of the sample palliative home care population used in this thesis and is reported to be one of the most distressing symptoms affecting both the person faced with a life limiting illness and their informal caregivers (Ng &von Gunten, 1998; Potter, Hami, Bryan, & Quigley, 2003; Dellon et al., 2010; Kroenke, Johns, Theobald, Wu, & Tu 2013). Chapter seven examines the Dyspnea CAP and describes the prevalence of dyspnea. This chapter demonstrates the relationship between dyspnea and prognosis as well as other clinical factors. Moreover, how the presence of dyspnea changes over time is examined and person-level characteristics, some of which are potentially amenable to change, that affect the risk for dyspnea over time are identified. In addition, risk and protective factors for persons who over time developed new dyspnea symptoms and for those who recovered from dyspnea are examined. Recognizing that a hallmark of the palliative care philosophy is its aim to provide the highest quality of care and support for both the person nearing the end of life and members of their care network including their informal caregivers, the third research chapter (Chapter 8) examines distress experienced by both the caregiver and the care recipient as a unit of care. As quality palliative care may increase satisfaction with care, improve global quality of life for client and their caregiver, reduce physical symptoms like dyspnea, decrease signs of depression or anxiety, and improve access to health care resources (Kane, Bernstein, Wales, Leibowitz, & Kaplan, 1984; Melin-Johansson, Axelsson, Gaston-Johansson, & Danielson, 2010) the association between the presence of dyspnea and distress experienced by members of the caregiver-client unit of care is examined to illustrate how dyspnea relates to distress, a major problem affecting over half of the caregiver-client units of care. Together, findings from this thesis show that if one or more interRAI PC CAPs are triggered then the clinician should take notice. Data from the interRAI PC and more specifically from the interRAI PC CAPs examined in this thesis provide evidence on their potential to inform greater understanding of the complex needs of palliative home care clients. Better understanding of the interRAI PC CAPs and identification of patterns in CAP triggering structure suggest symptoms where clinicians may focus increased attention. To address the accumulative complex needs of persons who are faced with a life-limiting illness and the needs of their caregivers, resource allocation focused on evidence gathered from a comprehensive standardized assessment instrument should be prioritized.

Abstract:
Despite (national) strategies/frameworks for care at the end of life, many patients do not die at their preferred location or under the form of care desired. This cross-country comparison study analyzed system-level characteristics - such as legislation, regulation and financing - that might influence service delivery in the care for terminally ill adults and their implications for outcomes and costs. Drawing on triangulated data from Canada, England, Germany and the United States of America and taking a 'most similar – most different' perspective, it was hypothesized that system-level factors might impede the broader use of (integrated) models of hospice and palliative care/the system-wide adoption of best practices. An embedded case study examined resource utilization and costs of shared care and its role as a potential best practice avenue. While similar with regard to leading causes of death, patient needs and potential avenues to care, different service models were employed – including hospice and palliative care. Generally offered alongside standard care along the disease continuum and across settings - and featuring common elements like physical, psycho-social and spiritual care - outcomes (e.g., access, utilization) varied. Legislative (e.g., jurisdictional), regulatory (including education and training) and financial issues were identified as barriers, as were public knowledge and perception ('giving up hope') challenges. Advance care planning, dedicated and stable funding, population aging and standards of practice/guidelines to care were seen as facilitators. Successful policy implementation requires concerted action to align system-level characteristics – with each alone being essential but not sufficient. Policies need to be monitored and fine-tuned, with a caveat toward their transferability between jurisdictions. The analysis of the shared-care approach in the rural Niagara-West setting revealed effective and efficient home-based hospice and palliative care – on par with per diem funding for long-term care homes and lower than average alternate level of care and hospital costs in Ontario, and in line with the Medicare Hospice Benefits in the United States of America. The thesis results provide a base for further analyses across jurisdictions and settings and might assist decision makers in the allocation of resources to meet the complex needs of hospice and palliative care populations.

Abstract:
Introduction: In the palliative care literature there has been debate over the occurrence and the desirability of the rationalization of palliative care. The discussion is based mostly on opinion, anecdote and argument. Little discussion is based on research, or is specific to Canada. Considering this question of rationalization, this thesis asks whether Canadian palliative care ethics has changed, and if so in what regard. Methods: Discourse analysis was used to evaluate texts and interviews from early and late Canadian palliative care. Based on expression, influence and comprehensiveness, two key texts were identified from each of the early and late periods of palliative care. Ten interviews were conducted with Canadian palliative care pioneers practicing across these periods. These interviews were semi-structured, and were based on the background literature and the textual analysis. Results: Analysis of the textual data led to the descriptive themes of person, profession and well-being. These themes, when compared across the early and late periods, generated three themes of process. Analysis of the interview data generated three similar themes of process. The themes of process from the textual and interview data were similar enough to generate three overall themes of process – routinization, medicalization, and professionalization.

Abstract:
In the United Kingdom, and several other European countries, Canada, Australia, and the United States, art therapy is a state-registered health-care profession and its practitioners complete a postgraduate training for 2 years full-time or equivalent. The training encompasses models of psychotherapy, psychiatry, psychology, and the role and function of aesthetics and creativity in health care. Art therapy training consists of three core elements: the theoretical underpinnings of the practice, experiential engagement in artistic and interpersonal activities (so that trainees develop their capacity for self-reflection and insight and continue to engage in their own art-making) and clinical placements. Clinical placements are central to the training of art therapists, and in this way practitioners also learn about the roles of other health professionals, the function of interdisciplinary teamwork, and art therapy’s contribution to this. Professional registration of art therapists ensures that practitioners continue to maintain the standards of proficiency and professional practice established on qualification. In the United Kingdom, art therapy had its beginnings in the tuberculosis sanatoria of the 1940s but quickly developed within psychiatric and educational settings. Integrated with other care, it has since been widely incorporated into the fields of mental health and learning disabilities. However, there is a growing interest in art therapy with the medically and terminally ill. One recent survey in the UK found over 50% of art therapists in adult cancer care working with people in the palliative phase.

Abstract:
The Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) consists of eight common symptoms presented as visual analog scales ranging from 0 to 100mm. Patients score the ESAS independently where possible; the scores are summed to form an overall distress score and graphed to create a longitudinal visual representation of symptom burden. This study describes the use of the ESAS for patients with advanced cancer (n = 101) admitted to a palliative care unit in Edmonton, Canada. The ESAS was completed twice daily. In 84% of cases, patients completed the ESAS independently initially; 83% ultimately required nurse or family member completion as the patient’s clinical status deteriorated. Distress scores improved over time following admission (mean at Day 1 410+/–95, falling to 362+/–83 by Day 5). There were significant differences between patient, nurse, and family member distress scores. This paper demonstrates for the first time the routine clinical utility of the ESAS.

Abstract:
Population aging is a global phenomenon that has presented capacity and resource challenges for providing supportive care environments for older people in later life (Bone et al., 2018, Finucane et al., 2019). Aging-in-place was introduced as a policy driver for creating supportive environmental and social care to enable individuals to live independently at home and in the community for as long as possible. Recently, there has been a move towards offering care for people with a terminal illness at home and in the community (Shepperd et al., 2016); and when appropriate, to die in supportive, home-like environments such as care homes (Wada et al., 2020). Aging-in-place principles can, thus and, should be extended to enabling supportive, home-like environments at the end-of-life. Yet, first, we must consider the appropriateness, availability and diversity of options for community-based palliative and end-of-life care (PEoLC), in order to optimise supports for older people who are dying at home or within long-term/residential care environments. Globally, across places with similar health and social care systems and service models such as in Scotland and in Canada, community-based PEoLC options are currently not uniformly available. Given that people entering into long-term/residential care homes are increasingly closer to the end of life, there is now an even greater demand for PEoLC provision in residential facilities (Kinley et al., 2017). Although most reported deaths occur within an inpatient hospital setting (50%), the proportion of overall deaths in a care home setting is projected to increase from 18% to 22.5% (Finucane et al, 2019). This suggests that long-term/residential care homes are to become the most common place of death by 2040, evidencing the need to develop and sustain appropriate and compassionate PEoLC to support those who are able to die at home and those living in residential care facilities (Bone et al., 2018; Finucane et al., 2019). This research initiative is premised on the notion that aging in place matters throughout the life-course, including at the end-of-life and that the socio-environmental aspects of care homes need to enable this.
