“…Based on a literature review (n = 24) supported by Andershed and Ternestedt (2001)'s theory, studies offer only a superficial glance at the involvement of care partners in the EOL care of older adults in LTCHs (Auclair & Bourbonnais, 2020). This involvement is almost exclusively described in terms of care planning and decision-making (Ampe et al, 2016;Biola et al, 2010;Bollig et al, 2015;Dreyer et al, 2009;Gjerberg et al, 2011Gjerberg et al, , 2015Kirsebom et al, 2017;Masukwedza et al, 2019;Percival & Johnson, 2013;Romøren et al, 2016;Sarabia-Cobo et al, 2016;Thoresen & Lillemoen, 2016;van Soest-Poortvliet et al, 2014). Only one descriptive correlational study explored other ways care partners are involved in care (e.g., monitoring, personal hygiene, meals).…”
