Improving Nursing Home Care of the Dying: A Training Manual for the Nursing Home Staff
by Martha L. Henderson, MSN, Dr Min, Laura C. Hanson, MPH, MD,
and Kimberly S. Reynolds
One in five people in the United States will die in a nursing home. To ensure good care at the end of life, all nursing home residents need attention to their physical, emotional, spiritual needs, and the opportunity to voice preferences. With the support of the Soros Foundation Open Society Institute’s Project Death in America, the authors have developed an innovative educational program to help nursing home staff provide competent and compassionate end-of-life care.
Written in a clear style, the book examines eight topics in end-of-life and palliative care in a long-term care setting. Topics include: recognizing the final phases of life; grief and loss; advance care planning; choices about eating and drinking; pain management; emotional and spiritual care; and caring for the caregivers.
The materials are designed to engage the learner and help nursing home staff apply what they have learned. Chapters contain learning exercises, clinical cases to facilitate group discussion, and useful Appendices.

National Standards and Guidelines for Palliative Care in Romania
This document is the first attempt to develop clear standards
for palliative care services in Romania. The standards can
be seen as a set of criteria to be accomplished by any potential
hospice/palliative care service, and could also be used by
the health authorities and financers in order to evaluate
the existing and emerging palliative care services in Romania.
The team that contributed to the development and publishing
of these standards did not attempt to define them as a level
to aspire to, but simply as a core of basic requirements to
ensure the quality of palliative care services provided for
incurable patients in advanced and terminal stages of their
disease.
The Standards for palliative care are
the result of a cooperation between Hospice
Casa Sperantei Brasov, ANIP (Romanian National Association
for Palliative Care) and NHPCO
(National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization) in the
United States, as part of a RASP (Romanian-American Sustainable
Partnership) program financed by USAID
World Learning.
