Abstract
Research studies have noted an improvement in end-of-life (EOL) patient's quality of life (QOL) from hospice. However, little research has been conducted to explore how the involvement of hospice care affects those in an assisted living facility (ALF). The purpose of this quantitative, pre and post-test quasi experimental design DPI project was to see to what degree a relationship exists between the care and communication bundle (independent variable) implementation and QOL (dependent variable) for 20 EOL patients on hospice in an ALF in Central Georgia. Jean Watson theory of caring and the theoretical domains framework (TDF) guided this project. The clinical question was: Will the implementation of a care and communication bundle to assist the healthcare team in facilitating the process of continuous planning for EOL patients on hospice care result in an increased QOL for patients in ALF?
