Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
- Reporting on implementation factors variable and often lacking, especially patient/family-related determinants and all aspects of mechanisms
- Main facilitators: adequate resources and collaboration between palliative care (PC) and ICU teams
- Main barriers: lack of resources, negative perceptions of PC, high ICU acuity
- Strategies: auditing resources, building stakeholder collaboratives, adaptable interventions, champions, supporting education
- Mechanisms most commonly worked by facilitating collaborative working
- 8 process evaluations, 76 effectiveness studies
