“…Weathers et al (2016) analyzed the concept of spirituality and identified three attributes of spirituality: connectedness, transcendence, and meaning of life. The American National Consensus Project (ANCP) for Quality Palliative Care (Handzo et al, 2020) pointed out that spirituality is a way for people to find and express the meaning, value, and purpose of life and to experience the connection among themselves, others, supremes (such as Gods or holiness), nature, and beliefs. Spiritual care is to provide individuals with care measures or activities in line with their culture and beliefs by listening, accompanying, or discussing the meaning and value of life with patients according to the assessment results of individual spiritual needs or problems (Ayik et al, 2021).…”

Background The significance of spiritual care needs among chronic diseases patients has been emphasized across countries and cultures in many studies. However, there were few studies on spiritual care needs among elderly patients with moderate-to-severe chronic heart failure (CHF) in China. Objective To investigate spiritual care needs and associated influencing factors among elderly patients with moderate-to-severe CHF, and to examine the relationships among spiritual care needs, self-perceived burden, symptom management self-efficacy, and perceived social support. Methods A cross-sectional design was implemented, and the STROBE Checklist was used to report the study. A convenience sample of 474 elderly patients with moderate-to-severe CHF were selected from seven hospitals in Tianjin, China. The sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire Scale, the Self-Perceived Burden Scale, the Self-efficacy for Symptom Management Scale, and the Perceived Social Support Scale were used. Descriptive statistics, univariate, multiple linear regression, and Pearson's correlation analysis were used to analyze data. Results The total score of spiritual care needs among 474 elderly patients with moderate-to-severe CHF was 37.95 ± 14.71, which was moderate. Religious belief, educational background, self-perceived burden, symptom management self-efficacy, and perceived social support were the main factors affecting spiritual care needs, and spiritual care needs were negatively correlated with self-perceived burden (r = −0.637, p < 0.01) and positively correlated with symptom management self-efficacy (r = 0.802, p < 0.01) and social support (r = 0.717, p < 0.01). Significance of results The spiritual care needs of elderly patients with moderate-to-severe CHF were moderate, which were influenced by five factors. It is suggested that clinical nurses, families, and society should take targeted spiritual care measures to improve patients’ symptom management self-efficacy and perceived social support from many aspects, and reduce self-perceived burden to meet their spiritual care needs and improve the quality and satisfaction of spiritual care in nursing practice.

“…The dementia trajectory can be quite extended with a very slow rate of decline and frailty (Lunney et al, 2003). Considering the financial cost of care that exceeds $290 billion (Mitchell et al, 2020), the explosive predictions of caregivers needed for dementia patients in the future (Nichols et al, 2022), and the stress caregivers experience (Liu et al, 2020), research is critical (Handzo et al, 2020). The PCD becomes the 24/7/365 support system for these caregivers throughout the disease trajectory.…”

Impact on Caregiver Burden Experienced by Informal Caregivers of Persons Living with Dementia When Supported by a Palliative Care Doula

The incidence of dementia is increasing rapidly with nearly 7 million currently and projected to triple by 2050. As of 2020, there are 53 million informal caregivers. Twenty-four percent of these informal caregivers are caring for persons living with dementia. Informal caregivers experience an exorbitant amount of stress and strain causing decreased quality of life and less energy to provide the care needed as well as personal health issues. Predictions of increased incidence of dementia, as well as concerns for shortages of informal caregiver availability make the concern for caregiver burden a critical issue. Decreasing caregiver burden is a goal of intervention. The palliative care doula (PCD) provides one possible intervention. This paper examines the psychometric measures of five different instruments intended to quantify the level of caregiver burden experienced with and without the intervention of a relationship with a PCD. The most appropriate tool to utilize is the Zarit Burden Interview-12 for this population. Further research is needed to provide pragmatic, patient centered outcomes that will address this public health caregiving crisis.
