Objective The purpose of writing the “expert consensus on humanistic care for patients in hospice care”(hereinafter referred to as the “consensus”) aims to standardize the practice of humanistic care in the field of hospice care,ensuring that humanistic care is integrated throughout the entire service process for hospice care patients and their families. Methods A systematic search was conducted in domestic and foreign databases for literature related to hospice care and humanistic care,including guidelines,expert consensuses,systematic reviews or Meta-analyses,and evidence summaries. High-quality evidence was evaluated,extracted,and summarized to form the initial draft of the “consensus”. From June to October 2024,20 experts from the fields of hospice care,nursing humanities,and evidence-based nursing were invited to participate in 1 round of expert consultation. Among them,13 experts were selected for 2 rounds of expert demonstration meetings. After collating and analyzing the experts’ opinions,the initial draft was revised and refined,ultimately resulting in the final version of the “consensus”. Results The effective response rate of the consultation questionnaire was 100%,with expert authority coefficient of 0.880,judgment coefficient of 0.935,and familiarity level of 0.825. The Kendall harmony coefficient of the expert consultation was 0.134(P<0.05). The “consensus” consisted of 13 aspects,including the targets and objectives,principles,institutional guarantees,environmental requirements,etc. Conclusion This “consensus” possesses strong scientific rigor and practicality,which can provide guidance and references for the practice of humanistic care in the field of hospice care,promoting the standardization and humanization of hospice care services.
