本研究探讨了80个家庭健康助理（HHA）的客户在过去2个月内死亡的经验。数据收集包括全面的半结构化的面对面访谈，试图更好地了解HHA及其客户与死亡准备相关的特征。其中，HHA的个人临终关怀偏好以及对客户临终关怀偏好和决策的了解与准备工作有着重要的联系。调查结果表明，HHA的客户端死亡的准备可以提高解决他们的个人意见，对EOL护理和提供更多的信息，客户端的EOL护理计划。
This study explored the experiences of 80 home health aides (HHAs) whose client died within the last 2 months. Data collection involved comprehensive semi-structured in-person interviews to try to better understand characteristics of HHAs and their clients associated with preparedness for death. Among those, personal end-of-life (EOL) care preferences of HHAs and having knowledge of preferences and decisions regarding client’s EOL care showed significant links to preparedness. Findings suggest that HHAs’ preparedness for client death could be enhanced both by addressing their personal views on EOL care and by providing more information about the client’s EOL care plans.
