Abstract

In 2020, hospices supported 1.72 million Medicare patients and their caregivers. The end-of-life experience can be difficult for caregivers and many experience anxiety, depression, and suicidality. Little literature has explored the role of hospice social workers in addressing and treating caregivers' suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This paper will explore the topic of hospice caregiver suicide, using a case study to illustrate relevant issues, practices, and needs. Implications for hospice social work practice are included.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care, now affiliated with the Social Work in Hospice and Palliative Care Network, explores issues crucial to caring for terminally ill patients and their families. Academics and social work practitioners present current research, articles, and continuing features on the "state of the art" of social work practice, including interdisciplinary interventions, practice innovations, practice evaluations, end-of-life decision-making, grief and bereavement, and ethical and moral issues. The Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care combines theory and practice to facilitate an understanding of the multi-level issues surrounding care for those in pain and suffering from painful, debilitating, and/or terminal illness.
