A conceptual model of palliative care within the chronic illness continuum

Abstract

An evidence-based conceptual model was developed concerning the use of palliative care. The model illustrates three phases (early, episodic, late) of palliative care along the chronic illness continuum. Research is needed to determine best nursing practices during the early phase to prevent crises during the episodic phase.
