Abstract
Purpose of review: This review aims to synthesise the evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the efficacy of dignity therapy (DT) in relation to psychosocial and spiritual outcomes in the context of person-centred and culturally competent care for people with supportive and palliative care needs.
Recent findings: Thirteen reviews were found, including seven conducted by nurses. Most reviews were of high quality, including various study populations such as cancer, motor neurone disease and non-malignant conditions. Six psychosocial and spiritual outcomes were identified: quality of life, anxiety, depression, hopefulness, meaning and purpose in life, and suffering based on the cultural variations in the implementation of DT.
Summary: DT has a positive impact on anxiety, depression, suffering, and meaning and purpose in life for people with palliative care needs, but the evidence is somewhat conflicted as to whether DT is effective in improving hope, quality of life and spiritual outcomes in the context of culturally competent care. Nurse-led DT seems desirable given its pivotal role when caring for people with palliative care needs. More randomised controlled trials should be conducted for people with different cultural backgrounds to provide person-centred, culturally competent supportive and palliative care.
