Description
Cari Randa-Beaulieu and co-authors review what helps and what hinders grief and bereavement support for staff in long-term care homes, published in 2024. Residents now arrive older and with more complex needs, so stays are shorter before death. Staff must often learn end-of-life care on the job, while facing death at work, with little structured support.
Following scoping review guidelines, the team searched social science databases and synthesized the results in narrative form. Dozens of studies met the criteria. Strategies and rituals fell into five domains, from cultural attitudes toward death to organizational policy, formal and informal peer support, and individual self-care. The authors argue that naming the barriers and facilitators can lead to more holistic support, helping combat burnout and staff turnover.
