Description
Ana Gil Méndez and eight colleagues drew together thirteen studies of end-of-life care experience. The studies ran from 2014 to 2024. They asked how people with palliative needs and their families experience care. The 2026 synthesis searched three databases. It re-read findings from wealthy lands through careful theme work.
Care emerged as a shifting, human process, not a straight path. Families carried heavy burdens. Scarce support made them worse. So did limited resources and patchy talk with care teams. Patients judged care by two things. Were their choices and identity respected? Were staff truly present? Dignity ran through all of it. Nursing practice could strengthen or weaken it. So could office systems. The authors argue services must treat the family as a unit of care.
