The palliative care needs and experiences of patients with advanced Parkinson's disease: a qualitative scoping review.
AIM: To determine the experiences and needs of palliative care in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD).
METHODS: A scoping literature review methodology, as described by the Joanna Briggs Institute, was employed to search for relevant literature. An electronic search of studies published in English was conducted across five databases from inception to 10 September 2023.
RESULTS: The search yielded a total of 1,205 articles, with 20 meeting the inclusion criteria. The findings were organized into four themes: (1) unmet emotional and informational needs; (2) needs for effective coordination of care; (3) planning for the future; and (4) symptom management. This scoping review highlights the intricate nature of palliative care for patients with PD and sheds light on issues within current palliative care healthcare systems. The findings emphasize the necessity for individualized interventions and services to address the diverse unmet palliative care needs of people with PD.
CONCLUSION: The study reveals the complex landscape of palliative care for individuals with advanced PD, emphasizing the inadequacies within existing healthcare systems. The identified themes underscore the importance of tailored interventions to address the varied unmet palliative care needs of this population.
