The Role of the Volunteer HOSPICE PALLIATIVE CARE

Overview “Family” is defined as anyone outside the interdisciplinary team involved in caring for or supporting the dying person Each family has its own dynamics to take into account: Role of each member – including gender roles Authority for decision-making Communication styles within the family, and with the care team

The Family’s Role in Hospice Palliative Care Providing Care and Support: The normal rhythm of the family changes. Roles may change dramatically: Children may become caregivers for parents A spouse may suddenly be thrust into a decision-making role, with little prior experience The person who has always provided emotional support may now be the one who needs that support A couple’s familiar relationship may be changed, as one spouse may have to take on intimate care tasks such as bathing, cleaning or feeding the other Receiving Care and Support: Each member of the family will have his/her own worries and will need support: Is the dying person receiving the best possible care? Is it OK to leave that person alone? What will happen when he/she dies? How will I ever survive all this?

When Families Don’t Work The stress on family structures can translate into dysfunction: A history of problems within the family may emerge: Cooperation among family members may break down Resentment Anger Frustration Financial difficulties Substance abuseMental illness

Your Role with the Family Help family members provide care and take on new roles: Share knowledge Report changing needs, or concerns about family members’ ability to provide for those needs, to supervisor Help with unfamiliar tasks Give the dying person and family some time together Support the family Be there, and pay attention to changing moods Keep the dying person company, so that family members can take occasional break Remain non-judgmental Allow family to express their emotions

Help family manage stress and burnout Be aware of caregivers’ stress levels Create opportunities for caregivers to care for themselves on occasion Watch for signs of burnout (see handout, pg 29: “Signs of Caregiver Burnout”) Suggest appropriate actions for dealing with negative feelings Provide information on community resources that might help Discuss serious family problems with other members of health team Recognize and report serious problems Again: your role is to support, not fix Help the family to get help, if needed Report signs of abuse or neglect to your supervisor Provide support for grief and bereavement Your support continues for a period of time after the patient has died, through the time of bereavement Your Role with the Family (cont’d)
