Description
Linn Broderud and co-authors report a 2025 study of talks that plan future care for frail older patients rushed into hospital geriatric wards. Such talks let patients state what care they want later, yet wards rarely hold them. The study sits inside a larger trial and asks staff what helps or blocks the talks.
The team held eight in-depth talks with staff and drew on notes from work with the wards. Blocks and aids sat at ward, national, and bedside levels. Timing, setting, and a patient's ability to take part all shaped success. Still, staff found real chances for the talks even in busy acute wards. The work shows why drive from leaders and keen staff both matter.
