Intensive care medicine, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00134-024-07623-0

Purpose: The importance and effectiveness of palliative care (PC) in intensive care units (ICU) are known. Less is known about the implementation and integration of ICU-based PC interventions. This systematic review aims to use a modified implementat...

Implementation lessons learnt when evaluating palliative care interventions in the intensive care unit: relationships between implementation determinants, strategies, and models of delivery (2023)
Thesis
Meddick-Dyson, S. Implementation lessons learnt when evaluating palliative care interventions in the intensive care unit: relationships between implementation determinants, strategies, and models of delivery. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4587991

Background
Palliative and end-of-life care have important roles in intensive care units (ICUs) given symptom burden and rate of mortality in ICUs. However, we do not know how ICU-based palliative care interventions should be implemented. This system...

The roles and experiences of informal carers providing care to people with advanced cancer in Africa—A systematic review and critical interpretive analysis. PLOS Global Public Health, 3(4), Article e0001785. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgph.0001785

There is an increasing prevalence of cancer in Africa with approximately 80% of cancers diagnosed at an advanced stage. High out-of-pocket healthcare costs and overstretched health systems lead to heavy reliance on informal carers for cancer care. Th...

Implementation lessons learnt when trialling palliative care interventions in the intensive care unit: relationships between determinants, implementation strategies, and models of delivery-a systematic review protocol (2022)
Journal Article

Systematic reviews, 11(1), Article 186. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-022-02054-8

BACKGROUND: Heterogeneity amongst palliative care interventions in the intensive care unit (ICU) and their outcomes has meant that, even when found to be effective, translation of evidence into practice is hindered. Previous evidence reviews have sug...
