Brief Summary

Liverpool Care Pathway for the dying patient (LCP) was developed to transfer the care practice from the hospice setting to the hospital setting in UK. LCP is a pathway with standardized registration method to monitor the care and its results. The primary aim is to study the effects of LCP on dying patients symptom burden and communication with close relatives and health care professionals.

Detailed Description

All residential care homes in Skellefteå municipality are included in the study and randomized either to control or intervention group. During the baseline period the care is provided as usual. During the intervention period the LCP is used for patients for whom the dying phase is diagnosed in the intervention group. Usual care is performed for the control group. After death of a patient a close relative fill in a questionnaire.
