Authors were asked to write in the first person about a work experience in PALTC that made them feelgood and bring joy to their work as clinicians. Essays were analyzed using content analysis. Three themes were identified: (1)  \nBuilding relationships through unique life stories; (2) Collaborating as a team to provide a sense of belonging and meaningful engagement among residents and staff; and (3) Fostering shared decision making that supports person centered care at the end of life. Disciplines that were represented included medicine, nursing and social work. Despite challenges of increasing workload and staffing shortfalls, clinicians may be able to increase joyful experiences in their clinical practice in PALTC through engagement in narrative medicine, supporting and celebrating the dedication of direct care staff, and recognizing the importance of shared medical decision making, particularly within a palliative care context.","cbCaisTnbRZxgsDX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisTnbRZxgsDX","pdf",384453,"English","# Abstract\n## Background and Aim\n## Methods\n## Findings: Three Themes\n## Implications for Clinical Practice","[{\"question\":\"What is the main problem the study addresses for PALTC clinicians?\",\"answer\":\"The study addresses the challenge of recruiting and retaining competent, caring PALTC clinicians and the increased severity and prevalence of burnout since the COVID-19 pandemic.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the essays and experiences analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"Ten first-person essays submitted in response to Caring for the Ages were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the three themes identified in the clinician essays?\",\"answer\":\"The themes are building relationships through unique life stories, collaborating as a team to create belonging and meaningful engagement, and fostering shared decision-making that supports person-centered end-of-life care.\"}]","WHAT BRINGS JOY TO LTC PROVIDERS: VIEW FROM THE EDITORS’ DESK | PDF",1790625477]
