Title Staff support and quality of care provided by palliative care nurses: A systematic literature review Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal Available through NZNO library
Volume 4 Issue 1 Pages 25-32
Keywords Hospice and palliative nursing; Systematic review; Staff support; Quality of health care
Abstract There is a considerable body of literature discussing the stressors experienced by nurses and other health professionals when caring for those who are terminally ill and dying. Also, a number of articles offer suggestions, including the views of staff, as to what type of professional and organisational support is required when working in this often demanding specialty. There are, however, very few reports of assessment of the effectiveness of such supportive interventions and in particular, the impact of such support on the quality of patient care. This literature review examines any reported relationships between the quality of nursing provided by palliative care nurses and the staff support received by those nurses.
