مستخلص: Background: With the increasing lifespan of people and the transition from communicable to non-communicable diseases across the globe, there is an increasing number of people with terminal illnesses requiring home-based care in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
Aim: This systematic review evaluated home-based care models for patients with terminal illnesses in LMICs. The primary outcomes measured are quality of life (QoL), adherence to treatment, fatigue, bimanual and related activities.
Methods: This review was conducted in accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) recommendations. Four databases; Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), MEDLINE (Ovid), Cochrane Library and Scopus, were systematically searched for potentially relevant studies. Screening of records (titles/abstracts from and full-texts) was done and a total of seven studies (four Randomized Control Trials [RCTs] and three quasi-experimental studies) were included in this review.
Results: Even though the included studies reported significant increase in the QoL of the studied patients, the studies have quality concerns.
Conclusion: Noting the general paucity of existing studies coupled with quality concerns across geographies in LMICs. More studies on home-based care for patients with terminal illness are needed with improved qualities and spread in these regions.
