1 Outline Spiritual Care in Palliative Care SCA Conference, Melbourne, May 2, 2016 Bruce Rumbold, Palliative Care Unit, Department of Public Health What we bring: mapping assets Key issues: seeking collective wisdom Finding our place: in collegial practice, in organisational structure, in policy 2 Core issues in practice European perspectives EAPC competencies and research priorities EAPC survey of spiritual research priorities Responses from 971 practitioners, including 293 palliative physicians, 112 nurses, and 111 chaplains, received from 87 countries (Selman L., Young T. et al 2014). Priorities for research were identified as: 1. Development and evaluation of conversation models and overcoming barriers to spiritual care in staff attitudes 2. Screening and assessment 3. Development and evaluation of spiritual care interventions and determining the effectiveness of spiritual care 3 1

2 Spiritual conversation models and staff attitudes What occurs in current practice? What are staff members' experiences of and attitudes towards spiritual conversations? What are the barriers to conversations? How effective and cost effective are spiritual conversations? What are patients' preferences regarding spiritual conversations? What training and support do staff need? What impact does staff training and education have? Spiritual assessment and screening What is the exact concept being assessed? What assessment is appropriate in diverse groups? What tools exist, what are their limitations, and when should they be used? How effective are screening and assessment? What are patients' preferences regarding screening and assessment? What training and support do staff need? Effectiveness of spiritual care and spiritual care interventions What are the aims, objectives, components and outcomes of spiritual care? What are the best methodologies to study effectiveness? Which interventions and models exist and what are their characteristics? How effective and cost effective are spiritual care models/ interventions? What are patients' understandings, preferences and expectations regarding spiritual care... What impact do staff education and support models have? What is the role of the team in providing spiritual care? EAPC core competencies in palliative care: No 5, meet patients spiritual needs Palliative care professionals should be able to: 5a demonstrate the reflective capacity to consider the importance of spiritual and existential dimensions in their own lives 5b integrate the patients and families spiritual, existential and religious needs in the care plan, respecting their choice not to focus on this aspect of care if they so wish 5c provide opportunities for patients and families to express the spiritual and/or existential dimensions of their lives in a supportive and respectful manner 5d be conscious of the boundaries that may need to be respected in terms of cultural taboos, values and choices 2

3 Finding our place in collegial practice Enlisting the listening skills of colleagues: the relational web Spirituality involves relationships With places and things (spatial) With self (intra-personal) With others (inter-personal) Among people (corporate) With transcendence ( God, Something There ) Lartey, E.(1997) In living colour: an intercultural approach to pastoral care and counselling, London, Cassell, Spiritual care involves: Screening - mapping (and documenting) a person s web of relationships Assessing if feasible, exploring possibilities and needs with the person Developing strategy interventions that involve settings, stories, and systems of belief Relational Web Spatial, corporate, inter-personal, intra-personal, transcendent relationships Triggers What s important to me? Who is important to me? What helps to keep me centred / at peace? What things in my community do I feel connected to? What places and things are special to me? How do I see /identify myself (eg mother, teacher, confidant, spiritual being, courageous..) 3

4 Strands of the Web Positive Relationship Lost Relationship Negative Relationship Transcendent: The Other My faith s all I ve got left now Hard to feel God s presence Bloody angry with God when Bert died cheated Self: Getting used to being still I was very active I m a useless old thing now Interpersonal: Dulcie {neighbour} is my best friend Bowling club Bingo group Estranged sister speaks in tongues not my scene Society: Places & things: spatial A member of the Labour movement all my life Bedroom window sky The neighbourhood in which I grew up Garden miss my veggies After we moved.. Never felt we quite belonged Hospital I m just another body Strategies for spiritual care Settings Stories Systems of belief Settings Where does the person feel safe? Staying connected with this safe place? Pictures Mementos Religious symbols Recollection Visits Reports from others Electronic links (images, video feed, Skype...) 4

5 Stories Listen to the stories Explore their significance Enquire about missing storylines Encourage them to represent these stories (write, record, draw... ) Systems of belief Enquire about rituals and beliefs Ask person and/or family to coach caregivers Arrange visits from an appropriate religious practitioner Prepare for any end-of-life rituals that are requested Finding our place in organisational structures Population Health Tiered models of care All patients Many patients INFORMAL CARE Some patients Few patients SELF-CARE 19 5

6 Level One Care needed by all: person-centred care. Competency to provide this care: all practitioners (staff and volunteers) who have casual contact with patients and families should have basic skills of awareness, relationships and communication; understand that all people have spiritual needs and be able to distinguish spiritual and religious needs; and be able to refer concerns to members of the multidisciplinary team. Screening is likely to be unobtrusive alert to spiritual issues rather than enquiring about them. Level Two Care needed by many: person-centred care sensitive to the spiritual domain. Competency to provide this care: practitioners whose duties require contact with patients and families/carers have level one skills with, in addition, increased awareness of spiritual and religious needs, and how these may be identified and responded to. Screening more likely to include direct enquiry about spiritual concerns. Level Three Care needed by some: care that addresses spiritual and religious issues. Competency to provide this care: practitioners who are members of the multidisciplinary team, have training to assess spiritual and religious need, and to develop care plans to respond to spiritual, religious and ethical issues. Competency in recording sensitive and personal patient information is required as this level. Level Four Care needed by a few: care for complex spiritual and religious needs. Competency: practitioners whose primary responsibility is for the spiritual and religious care of patients, families/ carers. These people are able to work with complex spiritual and religious need, particularly need arising from people s encounters with finitude and death; able to journey with others, focusing on the needs and agendas of those others; are equipped to liaise with external resources as required; and can act as a resource for support, training and education of practitioners working at levels one to three. Rumbold B. (2013) 6

7 Finding our place in policy End of Life Care Frameworks Ottawa Charter: health promoting pastoral care Victoria - where are we now Government Palliative care funding $120M in health services supporting 289 beds 31 community palliative care services in rural, regional & metro Melbourne Medical training program, nurse practitioners & volunteers Policy framework Strategic focus on building palliative care service capability across Victoria Establishing and fostering interdisciplinary specialist palliative care Best practice guidelines and research Carers Access & equity for CALD and Aboriginal people 25 Where do we want to go Community voice People want care to be provided as close to home as possible A future where services are wrapped around people, not providers, or institutions; where preference is taken into account, based on honest information about survival and complications; where dignity and comfort are respected; and where quality of life matters most. People want access to acute like services at home» pain relief» fluid replacement» supportive care; and» 24/7 on-call supports. People want to be involved in decisions regarding their end of life care Carer support 7

8 How do we get there Government commitments New policy framework End of Life Care framework Community and sector consultation to inform: Ø Identify what practical improvements can be made to support people s choices about end of life care looking at the; Ø How to better equip services to deliver quality end of life care to individuals and their families; and Ø What system changes are required to deliver a better integrated service that supports people to be cared for in their place of choice and die in their place of choice. Victorian Government has committed to undertaking two key reforms to support end of life care choices: Enabling the statutory recognition of advance care directives so competent Victorians can document treatment preferences for existing and/or future conditions and articulate their end of life care wishes; and Undertake a program of appropriate improvements to palliative care services to provide responsive, appropriate and innovative home-based care models. Victoria s End of Life Care policy framework Key focus areas of the End of Life Care framework will include: Improving access to specialist palliative care Eliminating the mismatch between what patients want and what is provided Improve specialist palliative care capacity Increase knowledge about of end of life care amongst all clinicians and services Reduce fragmentation across service delivery Build community capacity outside health services OTTAWA CHARTER 1986 The New Public Health In promoting health we must: Enable, mediate, advocate Create suppor?ve environments Strengthen community ac?on Develop personal skills Reorient health services 8
