By Katarzyna Anna Patynowska, F. Hasson, Tracey McConnell and 1 others.
Abstract
Background
Healthcare assistants delivering home-based palliative and end-of-life care face complex emotional and clinical demands with limited workplace support. Peer support had been suggested as a potential solution, yet no reviews of such interventions exist.
Aim
To understand and explain how, why, for whom and in what contexts workplace peer support interventions for healthcare assistants work (or do not work) in palliative and end-of-life care delivery at home.
