Despite the known importance of culturally tailored palliative care (PC), American Indian people (AIs) in the Great Plains lack access to such services. While clinicians caring for AIs in the Great Plains have long acknowledged major barriers to serious illness care, there is a paucity of literature describing specific factors influencing PC access and delivery for AI patients living on reservation land. This study aimed to explore factors influencing PC access and delivery on reservation land in the Great Plains to inform the development culturally tailored PC services for AIs. Three authors recorded and transcribed interviews with 21 specialty and 17 primary clinicians. A data analysis team of 7 authors analyzed transcripts using conventional content analysis. The analysis team met over Zoom to engage in code negotiation, classify codes, and develop themes. Qualitative analysis of interview data revealed four themes encompassing factors influencing palliative care delivery and access for Great Plains American Indians: healthcare system operations (e.g., hospice and home health availability, fragmented services), geography (e.g., weather, travel distances), workforce elements (e.g., care continuity, inadequate staffing, cultural familiarity), and historical trauma and racism. Our findings emphasize the importance of addressing the time and cost of travel for seriously ill patients, increasing home health and hospice availability on reservations, and improving trust in the medical system. Strengthening the AI medical workforce, increasing funding for the Indian Health Service, and transitioning the governance of reservation healthcare to Tribal entities may improve the trustworthiness of the medical system.
