Background.
Studies indicate problems between different professional groups working with palliative care and the organisation of palliative home care at nursing homes.
The purpose of this study is to examine international experiences and cooperative development initiatives regarding the organisation of community palliative care services.
Method.
The study has been carried out as a literature study based on bibliographic searches in international databases with selected key words.
Results and Conclusion.
The study of the literature identified 19 studies described in 20 articles that relate to development efforts and interventions regarding the organisation of palliative care in communities.
Nearly, all of the studies were based on health care professionals' assessments of users (the relatives).
However, it is unknown whether or how patients and relatives experience a positive effect of the interventions.
The literature study shows that it is a great methodological challenge to complete and evaluate studies concerning organisation and cooperation using methods that make the results useful for others.
