Abstrakt:	Background: Current research has shown that inpatient palliative care (PC) services are under-utilized, poorly integrated, and frequently introduced too late during inpatient hospital stays. The aim of this study was to identify a comprehensive list of multi-disciplinary facilitators and barriers to inpatient PC in Australian hospitals through a scoping literature review. Methods: This review identified articles published since 2000 from 3 electronic databases (CINAHL Plus, MEDLINE and Embase), which included discussion of collaboration among non-palliative care clinicians and palliative care professionals in Australian hospitals. We used an inductive approach to identifying key domains of barriers and facilitators. Results: Thirty-four articles met inclusion criteria following full text review. Barriers and facilitators were categorized in 7 domains: (1) Patient concerns, (2) Family concerns, (3) Clinician knowledge, education, and experience in palliative care, (4) Recognition and acceptance of prognosis when a patient was dying or needing end of life treatment, (5) Reconciliation of individual and professional values around PC, (6) Clinician access to resources for PC in the hospital, and (7) Communication between the PC team and ward clinicians. Each domain included potentially substantial barriers to PC delivery and practice. However, given the small sample sizes and specialized settings of many included studies, it was difficult to draw conclusions on the relative significance of different barriers across hospitals. Conclusion: This review identified a number of barriers and facilitators across studies. Subsequent research needs to more comprehensively compare factors impacting PC use in order to improve implementation of PC across hospital settings.
