HILL, Carolyn | DUGGLEBY, Wendy | VENTURATO, Lorraine | DUREPOS, Pamela | KULASEGARAM, Pereya | HUNTER, Paulette | MCCLEARY, Lynn | SUSSMAN, Tamara | THOMPSON, Genevieve | SURTEES, Doug | WICKSON-GRIFFITHS, Abigail | KAASALAINEN, Sharon

The purpose of this study was to analyse the consistency and extent of palliative content across high-level guiding documents related to the care of persons residing in Canadian long-term care homes. A systematic search was conducted examining documents at the national level and across five provinces (Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Quebec). Twenty-five documents were selected based on inclusion criteria from 273 documents identified in the systematic search. The majority of these documents were created nationally (48%) or in Ontario (28%). Documents varied in palliative topics discussed, and long-term care was discussed minimally. A minimal number of palliative care guiding documents were found. Long-term care specific documents were absent, and all documents lacked consistency on palliative topics. It is imperative that palliative principles are present and consistent in high-level documents in order to improve the quality of life and care for long-term care residents across Canada.
