N2 - Purpose: In the “Dying in Hospitals - Optimization of Care in the DyingPhase” project (Funded by the “Innovations-Fond”), multi-professionalworking groups (WGs) of health care professionals (HCPs) were establishedon ten non-specialist palliative care wards at two university hospitals.In these researcher-supported WGs, wards-specific measures tooptimize care in the dying phase were developed by using a bottom-upapproach. The experience and satisfaction of the HPCs with the WGs andthe implementation of the measures was evaluated.Methods: After the WG process, an online survey was sent to all HCPswho participated in the WGs in January 2023. The survey consisted of 17closed, self-developed questions on a 3-point Likert scale rating the HCPs’satisfaction with the content, outcomes of the WGs and the implementationon the wards. We used descriptive statistics to analyze the results.Results: A total of 69 WG meetings (mean: 6.9, range: 5-12) were heldwith 3-6 HPCs in mean per meeting and a duration of 1-1.5h. Of 78 eligibleHCPs, 48 responded to the survey (63%): 52% nurses, 23% physiciansand 25% psychosocial HPCs. The majority (16 of 17 items) of questionswere rated positively (range: 55-91%). The most valued aspect was theopportunity to contribute own opinions/topics in the WG process (91%).Most HCPs would participate again in such WGs (77%) and would recommendHCPs of other wards to develop own interventions to improvecare in the dying phase (80%). Satisfaction with the developed measures for their wards was 66%. However, 55% reported that implementing themeasures at the ward level had worked well.Discussion: The results show that implementing a bottom-up approach tothe development of measures by HPCs is possible and positively rated, butmay also face implementation challenges.Conclusion: The positive ratings and satisfaction with the researcher-supportedWG process indicate the use of a bottom-up strategy to developinterventions for care in the dying phase on non-specialist palliativecare wards.Disclosure Statement: The authors declare no conflict of interest.
