Abstract
Structural inequality was also verified on clinical observations. Conclusion. This disconnect between direct contact with patients and families and perceived marginalization by the IDT created resentment among some aides and an attitude of resignation among others. Implications for Research, Policy or Practice. Despite their perceptions of their contributions to hospice care, aides felt undervalued by their fellow team members. Hospice aides are essential members of the IDT, and they represent a vulnerable workforce. Better integration of hospice aides may improve team collaborations in patient care, impact the retention of a skilled and essential workforce, and impact patient and caregiver support and outcomes.
