An innovative service for the palliative and end-of-life care of people with dementia was introduced at a UK hospice. This evaluation involved analysis of audit data, semi-structured interviews with project staff (n=3) and surveys of family carers (n=15) and professionals (n=20). The service has increased access to palliative, end-of-life care and other services. Improvements were reported in the knowledge, confidence and care skills of family carers and professionals. Carers felt better supported and it was perceived that the service enabled more patients to be cared for at home or in their usual place of care.
英国一家临终关怀医院推出了一项针对痴呆症患者的姑息治疗和临终关怀创新服务。该评估包括对审计数据的分析、对项目工作人员(n = 3)的半结构化访谈以及对家庭护理人员(n = 15)和专业人员(n = 20)的调查。该服务增加了获得姑息治疗、临终关怀和其他服务的机会。据报告,家庭护理人员和专业人员的知识、信心和护理技能有所提高。护理人员感到得到了更好的支持,并且人们认为该服务使更多患者能够在家中或其通常的护理场所得到照料。
