Document analysis reveals significant policy gaps in support and training for homecare workers, indicating urgent need for reform.

Current social homecare policies largely neglect end-of-life care, with only 17 documents addressing the role of homecare workers.
In evaluation, 1,464 instances of homecare worker codes were identified, but education and training for end-of-life care appeared infrequently.
This analysis utilized document review and framework analysis through Bronfenbrenner's theory to assess policy gaps.
As global demand for end-of-life care rises, improved policies on training and worker support are essential for enhancing care quality.

Elliott-Button et al. (2025) studied this question.
