Palliative care in rural communities

Article indépendant

FASOLINO, Tracy | MAYFIELD, Megan E. | VALENTINE, Kathleen | ROSA, William E. | KOCI, Anne

Rural communities in the United States are frequently marginalized and misrepresented. These communities face unique challenges, such as limited access to health care, nutritious food, and clean water, that contribute to persistent health disparities. This article presents the CARE (Complex, Access, Resourceful, Extraordinary) framework, which illustrates the dichotomy of rurality-its negative and positive aspects-in order to inform the development of palliative care delivery in rural settings. Various palliative care models are described that address access gaps, bolster provider capacity, and increase the provision of specialty palliative care. However, workforce shortages and reimbursement structures restrict the expansion of these services. Nurses, the largest segment of the health care workforce and the most trusted professionals, must partner with interdisciplinary colleagues and rural communities to advocate for equitable and inclusive care.
