本文探讨了当有人在老年人设施中死亡时，居民、亲属和护理人员的支持需求。作者借鉴了一项英国研究的定性研究结果，该研究调查了将姑息治疗的原则和实践应用于这些环境中死亡的人的案例。亲属需要实际和情感上的支持，而疗养院工作人员往往无法充分满足这些支持。管理人员在认识其他居民的情感需求或支持亲属方面的程度各不相同。护理人员承认需要实际和情感支持，但管理层往往无法提供。除了财务和人员限制之外，缺乏识别和解决需求方面的培训也是阻碍管理人员为工作人员、居民和亲属提供支持的因素。
This paper explores the support needs of residents, relatives, and care staff when someone dies in a facility for older people. The authors draw on the qualitative findings from an English study, which investigated the case for applying the principles and practices of palliative care to people dying in these settings. Relatives need practical as well as emotional support, which is often not met adequately by nursing home staff. Managers varied in the extent to which they recognized other residents’ emotional needs or supported relatives. Care staff members acknowledged needing practical and emotional support, but management was often unable to deliver it. Lack of training in recognizing and addressing needs in addition to financial and staffing constraints were factors that prevented managers from providing support for staff, residents, and relatives.
