“…This indicates the need for quality improvement because early discussion of goals of care is a best practice in providing EOLC to elderly people with serious illness [91, 92]. The overall QPC-LTC research identified that most LTC staff were not comfortable having advance care planning and EOL conversations with residents and families [27, 28, 30]. …”

Rationale Improving end-of-life care (EOLC) in long-term care (LTC) homes requires quality measurement tools that assess families' satisfaction with care. This research adapted and pilot-tested an EOLC satisfaction measure (Canadian Health Care Evaluation Project (CANHELP) Lite Questionnaire) for use in LTC to measure families' perceptions of the EOLC experience and to be self-administered. Methods and Results Phase 1. A literature review identified key domains of satisfaction with EOLC in LTC, and original survey items were assessed for inclusiveness and relevance. Items were modified, and one item was added. Phase 2 The revised questionnaire was administered to 118 LTC family members and cognitive interviews were conducted. Further modifications were made including reformatting to be self-administered. Phase 3 The new instrument was pilot-tested with 134 family members. Importance ratings indicated good content and face validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficients (range: .88–.94) indicated internal consistency. Conclusion This research adapted and pilot-tested the CANHELP for use in LTC. This paper introduces the new, valid, internally consistent, self-administered tool (CANHELP Lite Family Caregiver LTC) that can be used to measure families' perceptions of and satisfaction with EOLC. Future research should further validate the instrument and test its usefulness for quality improvement and care planning.

“…In the last 20 years, simulation has evolved remarkably. High-fidelity simulation allows the re-enactment of real situations that include procedures with communication skills, making it a training strategy that facilitates EOL education for health professionals and students [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Based on personal experience and the relevant nursing literature, opportunities to reflect on and converse about death is necessary, especially for students who have not yet had experiences in actual healthcare settings.…”

Using High-Fidelity Simulation to Introduce Communication Skills about End-of-Life to Novice Nursing Students

et al. 2020

Background: High-fidelity simulation is being considered as a suitable environment for imparting the skills needed to deal with end-of-life (EOL) situations. The objective was to evaluate an EOL simulation project that introduced communication skills to nursing students who had not yet begun their training in real healthcare environments. Methods: A sequential approach was used. The “questionnaire for the evaluation of the end-of-life project” was employed. Results: A total of 130 students participated. Increasing the time spent in high-fidelity simulation significantly favored the exploration of feelings and fears regarding EOL (t = −2.37, p = 0.019), encouraged dialogue (t = −2.23, p = 0.028) and increased the acquisition of communication skills (t = −2.32, p = 0.022). Conclusions: High-fidelity simulation promotes communication skills related to EOL in novice nursing students.

“…UCPs provide up to 80% of direct care to older adults, yet they are an understudied and underrepresented workforce in the literature (Ginsburg et al, 2016;Kortes-Miller, Jones-Bonofiglio, Hendrickson, & Kelley, 2015). UCPs have different job titles such as healthcare aides, nurses' aides, personal support workers or nursing assistants.…”

“…Case study Residential long-term-care -Lack of collaboration between personal support workers (PSWs) and social workers or other members of the team -PSWs may require more education and training to gain cultural competency which has potential to improve quality of care (Johnson & Noel, 2007) and providing emotional support to patients (Berta et al, 2013;Giosa, Holyoke, Bender, Tudge, & Gifford, 2015;Kortes-Miller et al, 2015;Waskiewich, Funk, & Stajduhar, 2012). According to Guay et al (2013) (Vincent et al, 2016), health promotion (Johnson & Noel, 2007), therapeutic recreational programmes (Sullivan & Sharpe, 2005), physical mobility (Slaughter & Estabrooks, 2013) and palliative care (Kaasalainen, Brazil, & Kelley, 2014).…”
