  • Working with hope: Learning from bereaved parents. [Journal Article]
    Palliat Support Care. 2026 Sep 28; 24:e239.Katz NT, Hynson JL, Gillam LPS
  • CONCLUSIONS: The study's findings support existing research describing hope as multidimensional, dynamic, and potentially coexisting with prognostic awareness. We share new insights into how clinicians can work with parental hope in ways that can be both beneficial and detrimental. Additionally, we describe how some parents may perceive hope as potentially harmful.

  • A decade of palliative care needs in humanitarian settings: A systematic scoping review of literature between 2012 and 2022. [Journal Article]
    Palliat Support Care. 2026 Sep 28; 24:e238.McGannan M, Barber-Fleming V, … Grant LPS
  • CONCLUSIONS: The literature from Public Health Emergencies (Ebola and COVID) overshadowed other humanitarian contexts, demonstrating the comparative paucity of research in refugee, natural disaster, and conflict settings. The voice of children appeared under-represented, as did the perspective of family/caregivers. While there was strong research on pain and physical symptoms, holistic needs were also identified, highlighting the diversity of palliative care needs in humanitarian settings.

  • Palliative care nurses' goals of spiritual care. [Journal Article]
    Palliat Support Care. 2026 Sep 25; 24:e236.Mascio R, Lynch S, … Best MPS
  • CONCLUSIONS: Palliative care nurses' goals for spiritual care are characterized by greater variety than implied by prescriptive spiritual care models/guides that assume some type of patient well-being goal. That there was no relationship between goal and spiritual care understanding may be due to the goal-elicitation question evoking higher-order goals that are unrelated to specific spiritual care behaviors, which may be more influenced by lower-order goals.
