Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals hospice education boosts advance care planning engagement among care home staff, suggesting further research is needed.

Key Points

  • Education increases knowledge and confidence in advance care planning discussions among care home staff, improving their ability to support residents.
  • 56.6% of respondents from care homes strongly agreed that education improved their engagement in advance planning discussions.
  • Cross-sectional online survey conducted from August 2023 to April 2024 included responses from staff across care homes and hospices.
  • Support for hospice-led education is high, yet barriers like funding and staffing challenges remain significant issues.
