Regional and remote areas are often disadvantaged in terms of access to palliative care services. The impact of reduced access to services on people living in regional or remote areas of Australia is poorly understood.
Identify and examine current literature relating to the palliative care experiences of adults living in regional and remote areas of Australia.
CINAHL, Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Review Library and grey literature were searched using a combination of keywords. A thematic analysis was applied.
Thirteen articles were included in the final review. Poor access, relocation and hardship were identified as issues affecting participants.
Limited literature was available addressing the palliative care experiences of adults living in regional and remote areas of Australia. To identify and address any inequities in palliative care provision and access, the experiences of palliative care patients living outside major cities need to be examined.
在获得姑息治疗服务方面，地区和偏远地区往往处于不利地位。人们对澳大利亚地区或偏远地区居民获得服务减少所产生的影响了解甚少。
识别并研究与澳大利亚地区和偏远地区成年人姑息治疗经历相关的现有文献。
使用关键词组合在护理学与健康领域数据库（CINAHL）、医学文献数据库（Medline）、医学期刊数据库（PubMed）、考克兰系统评价数据库（Cochrane Review Library）及灰色文献中进行检索，并应用主题分析法。
最终综述纳入了13篇文章。发现获得服务困难、搬迁和困苦是影响参与者的问题。
关于澳大利亚地区和偏远地区成年人姑息治疗经历的文献有限。为了识别并解决姑息治疗提供和获取方面的任何不公平现象，需要研究大城市以外姑息治疗患者的经历。
