Abstract: This book provides a unique resource for registered nurses working in hospice palliative care at home and for the community, outside of acute care settings. Very few resources exist which specifically address hospice palliative care in the home setting, despite the fact that most palliative care occurs outside acute care settings and is primarily supported by unpaid family caregivers. An overview of the concerns for individuals and families, as well as specific nursing interventions, from all ages would be an excellent support for nursing students and practicing registered nurses alike.The book structure begins with a description of the goals and objectives of hospice palliative care and the nursing role in providing excellent supportive care. Chapters include research findings and specifically research completed by the authors in the areas of pediatric palliative care, palliative care for those with dementia, and the needs of family caregivers in bereavement. Interventions developed by the editors are provided in this book, such as the "Finding Balance Intervention" for bereaved caregivers; the "Reclaiming Yourself" tool for bereaved spouses of partners with dementia; and the "Keeping Hope Possible" Intervention for families of children with life limiting and life threatening illnesses. The development and application of these theory-based interventions are also highlighted. Videos and vignettes written by family caregivers about what was helpful for them, provide a patient-and family-centered approach.The book will benefit nursing students, educators and practicing registered nurses by providing information, theory, and evidence from research.
