“Changing Lanes”: Facilitating the Transition from Curative to Palliative Care
Abstract
Little empirical work has been conducted assessing the perspectives of nurses regarding the barriers, facilitators, and strategies associated with achieving quality patient care at the end of life. A grounded theory study was conducted examining nursing behaviours and social processes inherent in the provision of quality end-of-life care from the perspective of generalist nurses (n=10) working in an acute care setting. An inductively derived preliminary model, “creating a haven for safe passage”, was developed based on the findings from this study and has been published elsewhere (1). This article provides a detailed description of one of the subprocesses of the model regarding the transition from curative to palliative care—the subprocess of “facilitating and maintaining a lane change”. The various strategies which nurses used to effect a lane change, as well as the facilitators and barriers they encountered in this process, are presented. The consequences associated with both successful and unsuccessful lane changes are reported.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
