Palliative care nursing research trends from 1987 to 1996

Abstract: Nursing research in palliative care is becoming ever more important as cost-effectiveness and evidence-based practice become mandatory in the workplace. A search of Cinahl and Medline databases and the content pages of the International Journal of Palliative Nursing, Palliative Medicine and the Journal of Palliative Care provided 180 articles relating to nursing research in palliative care over the past decade. On reviewing the abstracts emerging trends show that nurses are becoming more focused on service del… Show more

Two papers on qualitative research in palliative care-one self-titled a descriptive review and the other, a critical evaluation that concludes that although well written, nursing papers need improvement in methods-related issues; 7.…”

“…In the UK, there is increasing emphasis on its importance for patients with life‐threatening illnesses [Department of Health 2000, NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHSQIS) 2002], including involving users in their care and seeking their opinions about that care (Department of Health 2000, Scottish Executive 2001, National Cancer Research Initiative 2004). Despite the growing body of empirical research into palliative care and an increasing evidence base in palliative care nursing (Wilkes 1998, Ingleton & Davies 2004), there is limited information on patients’ views about this.…”

“…However, leading palliative care researchers and practitioners assert that a single paradigmatic perspective is unlikely to capture the diverse and disparate range of topics relevant to hospice palliative care and call for both greater diversity of paradigmatic perspectives and greater creativity in study design and methods~Phillips, 1992; Macdonald, 1993;Byock, 1994;van Manen, 1997;Corner, 1998; Special Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology, 2000!. Moreover, they emphasize a need for research designs that elucidate greater understanding about existential and spiritual concerns of persons at the end of life and methods that are congruent with the basic tenets of hospice palliative care~Macdonald, 1993; Wilkes, 1998! states, we stand on "the brink of the third epoch of healthcare, the epoch of Whole Person Medicine," wherein the wholeness of persons is fully recognized and compels us to look beyond the biology of disease to the broader considerations that underlie human suffering.…”
