Exploring the factors that prevent or facilitate palliative care at ‘home’ for adults experiencing structural vulnerability: A scoping review
While most people express a preference to be cared for and die at home, not all people have access to a safe or stable home. Government policies often position home death as a proxy measure of quality end-of-life care, yet structurally vulnerable populations, including those who are precariously housed, homeless, or living in supportive or transitional housing, are frequently excluded from this possibility. This scoping review aims to summarize t…

This pivot resulted in reinforcing the myriad benefits of using d…

Developing and Implementing Peer-Led Intervention to Support Staff in Long-Term Care Homes Manage Grief
Front-line staff in long-term care (LTC) homes often form strong emotional bonds with residents. When residents die, staffs’ grief often goes unattended, and may result in disenfranchised grief. The aim of this article is to develop, implement, and assess the benefits of a peer-led debriefing intervention to help staff manage their grief and provide LTC homes an organizational approach to support them. This research was nested within a 5-year par…
