Abstract:
Objective:To analyze current situation of hospice care in Jinshan District of Shanghai and provide recommendations for development of hospice care. Methods:This cross-sectional study included 8 hospice care institutions, their health staff and 316 patients during May-August, 2019. Results were analyzed by quantitative and qualitative methods. Results:There had 80 approved beds in Jinshan District, but only 53 beds were used for 189 inpatients in 2017. Hospice care institutions received financial supports from district government at the construction stage, but relied on their own for daily operation costs. The motivation of health staff to work in hospice care was not strong. Among the hospice care workers, 18% had no certification for hospice care, and only 5% of them had senior professional titles. Continued education for health workers in hospice care was weak and the workers were under heavy stress. Conclusion:The potential needs for hospice care were unmet while hospice care was under-utilization in Jinshan District. The development of hospice care was unbalanced, and the health workers lacked motivation. The resources of hospice care need to be strengthened.
