Hospital to Hospice Transition

Abstract

Family caregivers of hospice inpatients transferred from the hospital to a community inpatient hospice setting describe what mattered most in a descriptive phenomenological study. Seven interrelated constituents based on Giorgi's procedural method provide a structure of the findings guided by Meleis' middle range theory of transitions and patient-and family-centered care.

Caregivers' perceptions of transition of a family member from acute care to hospice inpatient care

Seven interrelated constituents based on Giorgi's procedural method provide a structure of the findings guided by Meleis' middle range theory of transitions and patient-and family-centered care.
