Abstract
This study was designed to determine the competencies that hospice practitioners and experts in the field would agree upon as necessary attributes to being an effective hospice team member. The Delphi method was employed to solicit the desired competencies. Subsequently, after further data analysis, the final version of the questionnaire was reduced to twenty-nine items. The results indicated strong positive agreement between the rankings of the practitioners, emotional and interpersonal characteristics needed by hospice personnel to effectively function with the dying and their families in a hospital environment.
