Abstract
Abstract Palliative care provides comfort to patients with life-limiting diseases. This comfort care may come from different health care professionals all working from different care perspectives to ensure patients receive proper care. Collaboration between health care professionals could improve the end of life experiences of patients and their family members. The objective of this literature review was to determine if patient experiences were impacted by interprofessional health care teams involved in their care. Four original research studies that focused on palliative/end of life care and the interprofessional health care team were used in this study after a number of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results were divided into the effects on adolescent and young adult (AYA) population and the adult population. The results showed that the involvement of a collaborative interprofessional health care team positively enhanced the end of life and death experiences of patients. The interprofessional health care team was found to be effective in both the adolescent and young adult population and the adult population.
