Next up in our Honours Projects feature: Ellie McMahon is an intensive care nurse & has just completed her BNurs(Hons) project exploring nurses’ experiences of providing end-of-life care to Māori patients and their whānau in the intensive care context. [1/7]
Why is this important? ICUs are technocentric environments designed to support patients after life-threatening illness or major surgery. In spite of these efforts, some patients die in ICU requiring culturally-responsive, end-of-life care. [2/7]
Ellie conducted semi-structured interviews with both Māori & non-Māori ICU nurses, asking about their experiences of #EoLC for #Māori in ICU & seeking barriers and facilitators to culturally-responsive care. #NursingResearch #ICUResearch [3/7]

Throughout December I'm doing a #PalliativeCareAdvent; every day I am going to challenge #misconceptions about #PalliativeCare, #EndOfLife and living with a #LifeLimitingIllness. Some personal, some factual. Do join me!

Day 1
"#PalliativeCare is only for those who are imminently dying".

Palliative care can help people throughout their illness, from point of diagnosis. It can help people live well, live longer and focus treatment/care around their wishes.

Day 2
"#PalliativeCare can only occur in the absence of life-prolonging interventions"

It can be given during life-prolonging treatment or in the absence of it. It's about quality of life, symptom control, the person's wishes and preparing for the future. #PalliativeCareAdvent Image
