Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify case load size, utilization of services, overall stress levels and the overall clinical perspectives of rehabilitation professionals working with end-of-life (EOL) patients. Results revealed few rehabilitation professionals worked on palliative care teams and rehabilitation professionals reported low numbers of EOL care patients on caseloads. Eighty-five percent of the participants perceived they had a role to play in EOL care. EOL care education, years experience and field of practice were not significant predictors of rehabilitation staff stress levels. No significant difference was found between the three professional groups’ perceptions of key factors influencing quality-of-life, suggesting an overall agreement between perspectives related to professional roles and the goals of the rehabilitation team in EOL care.
