Early Nurse-Led Palliative Care and End-of-Life Outcomes
Abstract
Many terminally ill adult patients experience unnecessary suffering, unmanaged symptoms, and a reduced quality-of-life (QoL) near the end of their illness. Despite evidence supporting early implementation of palliative care, many patients receive these services late in the disease process, or not at all. Historically, standard care tends to focus on the curative treatment for the patient while disregarding the patient's holistic needs (Getie et al., 2025). This can lead to excess stress, symptom burden, and a decreased QoL.
Nurses play a critical role in implementing early palliative care and recognizing the need for a timely consultations. Understanding how early-nurse led palliative care interventions can help those with terminal illnesses is significant because it may improve symptom management, QoL, patient satisfaction, and promote patient-centered care.
