End-of-life doulas: A systematic integrative review and redirection.
Background and objectives: End-of-life doulas (EOLD) are an emerging role providing non-medical support and advocacy for the dying and their families. Research about EOLD is new and currently highlights a need for more clarity in role definition and application. This review aims to comprehensively analyze existing knowledge regarding EOLD and their role in end-of-life care.
Research design and methods: A systematic and comprehensive search of nine bibliographic databases identified all published academic articles related to EOLD (as named, self-identified, and/or trained) research from inception to June 2023. This review utilized an integrative approach and textual narrative synthesis to summarize the existing body of research findings related to EOLD.
Results: Twenty-five articles were identified, representing multiple disciplines including health and medicine, public health, social/behavioral sciences, and humanities. Research on EOLD has rapidly increased in recent years and is showing signs of maturation. The review focuses specifically on summarizing the breadth and depth of identified research on EOLD and critically analyzes emergent themes from the review: Application, Perception, Identity, and Future Research Directions.
Discussion and implications: This review provides the most comprehensive review of the research literature on EOLD to date. Thematic findings for future research directions have provided the basis of a redirected research agenda to guide the field going forward. There is still a need to clarify who EOLD are and how they are being conceptualized by multiple stakeholders. Future research must address these missing voices to fully grasp the value and unique role that EOLD contribute to EOL care.
期刊介绍：
The Gerontologist, published since 1961, is a bimonthly journal of The Gerontological Society of America that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human aging by publishing research and analysis on applied social issues. It informs the broad community of disciplines and professions involved in understanding the aging process and providing care to older people. Articles should include a conceptual framework and testable hypotheses. Implications for policy or practice should be highlighted. The Gerontologist publishes quantitative and qualitative research and encourages manuscript submissions of various types including: research articles, intervention research, review articles, measurement articles, forums, and brief reports. Book and media reviews, International Spotlights, and award-winning lectures are commissioned by the editors.
