How is early palliative care defined and implemented for persons diagnosed with a life-limiting chronic illness : a scoping review protocol
Article
OBJECTIVE: This review will explore definitions of early palliative care and describe how it has been implemented for those diagnosed with a life-limiting chronic illness.
INTRODUCTION: People with life-limiting chronic illnesses who receive palliative care interventions have increased quality of life, better symptom management, and are more likely to have advance care plans than patients who do not. It is therefore best practice to encourage early identification of those in need of palliative care services. However, there is uncertainty over what is considered to be "early palliative care" and this presents a barrier to evaluating outcomes associated with it.
INCLUSION CRITERIA: All literature that defines an early palliative care approach in adults (aged 18+) with a life-limiting chronic illness will be included in this review.
METHODS: This scoping review will be completed using the JBI scoping review methodology. A comprehensive search of academic and gray literature using MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), Embase (Ovid), PsycINFO (Ovid), Web of Science Core Collection, Ovid Cochrane Library, and ProQuest (Health and Medicine and Sociology Collections) will be utilized. Once screened by two reviewers, results will be extracted using a customized tool and summarized into a final report using a narrative synthesis presented in table form.
