Abstract
Sharing the burden: Schwartz rounds® as a compassionate collaborative practice and education model in long-term care
Highlights
Long-term care residents have complex health concerns and geriatric syndromes
Compassionate collaborative practice involves engaging care providers to compassionately care for the self and others within the context of the Inter-professional practice [5]
We propose Schwartz Rounds [6] as a compassionate collaborative practice and education model that can be used to innovate team relationships, stimulate learning, and improve care outcomes in longterm care homes
Summary
Long-term care residents have complex health concerns and geriatric syndromes. The vast majority of persons who reside in longterm care homes will die in these homes. Inter-professional education and care is a requisite for high quality health care [1], and in long-term care homes, both are needed to comprehensively address the multiple co-morbidities, and psychosocial and spiritual needs of these residents from admission through end-of-life. Schwartz Rounds® promote compassionate inter-professional education and practice, have potential to improve team relationships, resident care, and retention of long-term care caregivers. These Rounds promote open and honest dialogue about feelings that emerge as a result of caregiving. The Rounds can improve how inter-professional teams care for self and others
