Despite significant progress in implementing palliative care interventions for cancer patients, few intervention studies seek healthcare clinicians’ input prior to implementation of these into the community. The purpose of this study was to explore palliative care and oncology clinicians’ perspectives on the perceived facilitators and challenges in meeting the quality of life needs of lung cancer patients and family caregivers in community-based settings. The RE-AIM model for implementation research was used as a framework. This was a multi-site qualitative study using focus group and key informant interviews. Nineteen clinicians addressed useful practices and challenges in the following areas: (a) early palliative care; (b) interdisciplinary care planning; (c) symptom management; (d) addressing psychological and social needs; and (e) providing culturally respectful care, including spiritual care. In preparation for the intervention, specific education needs and organizational challenges were revealed. Challenges included timing and staffing constraints, the need for clinician education on palliative care services to increase organizational buy-in, and education in providing spiritual support for patients and family caregivers. This research allowed investigators to understand perceptions of clinicians as they prepared to integrate palliative care in their settings. Hospice and palliative care nurses can be instrumental in implementing palliative care into community practice.
