Abstract

Background: People with Parkinson’s disease has significant and increasing physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs, as well as problems with coordination and continuity of care. Despite the benefits that palliative care could offer, there is no consensus on how it should be delivered. Aim: The aim of this study is to provide a pragmatic overview of the evidence to make clinical recommendations to improve palliative care for people with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers. Design: A systematic review method was adopted to determine the strength of evidence, supported by feedback from an expert panel, to generate the ‘do’, ‘do not do’ and ‘do not know’ recommendations for palliative care. Data sources: Searches were conducted via OVID to access CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library from 01/01/2006 to 31/05/2021. An additional search was conducted in December 2022. The search was limited to articles that included empirical studies of approaches to enabling palliative care. Results: A total of 62 studies met inclusion criteria. There is evidence that education about palliative care and movement disorders is essential. palliative care should be multi-disciplinary, individualised and coordinated. Proactive involvement and support of caregivers throughout the illness is recommended. Limited data provide referral indicators for palliative care integration. Discussions about advance care planning should be held early. Conclusions: Consideration of palliative care integration based on symptom burden and personal preferences, coordination and continuity of care are needed to maintain the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers.
