Abstract

Background: The care for patients with advanced disease and limited prognosis and their relatives is complex and characterized by insufficient communication and lack of coordination and continuity. Aim: Development of an interprofessional, practice-guided concept of longitudinally structured communication with the goal of fostering communication, improving quality of life and facilitating early integration of palliative care. Methods: Multi-level process starting from a draft with discussion and approval within the multiprofessional team and correlation with interviews with patients and relatives. Preparation of a comprehensive concept with review of the literature, problem analysis, theoretical foundation, goal setting and intervention components. Discussion of suitability for daily use, adaptation and further development of the concept. Results and conclusions: Concept with the following components: interprofessional communication training, structured conversations at defined moments in a tandem of physician and nurse with patient and relative, follow-up conversations conducted by the nurse, and respective instruments (conversation protocol, question prompt list, memory cards). Only iterative discussion with and the approval of patients, relatives and the multiprofessional team and their approval will put the concept into practice.
