Although the preservation of dignity is often highlighted as a key tenet of palliative care provision, the concept of dignity and its implications for practice remain nebulous to many clinicians. Dignity in care encompasses a series of theories describing different forms of dignity, the factors that impact them, and strategies to encourage dignity-conserving care. Different modalities and validated instruments of dignity in care have been shown to lessen existential distress at the end of life and promote patient-clinician understanding. It is essential that palliative care clinicians be aware of the impacts of dignity-related distress, how it manifests, and common solutions that can easily be adapted, applied, and integrated into practice settings. Dignity-based constructs can be learned as a component of postgraduate or continuing education. Implemented as a routine component of palliative care, they can provide a means of enhancing patient-clinician relationships, reducing bias, and reinforcing patient agency across the span of serious illness. Palliative care clinicians-often engaging patients, families, and communities in times of serious illness and end of life-wield significant influence on whether dignity is intentionally integrated into the experience of health care delivery. Thus, dignity can be a tangible, actionable, and measurable palliative care goal and outcome. This article, written by a team of palliative care specialists and dignity researchers, offers 10 tips to facilitate the implementation of dignity-centered care in serious illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/meta><strong>Authors: <\/strong> Rachel A Hadler Seth Weeks, William E Rosa, Stephanie Choate, Matthew Goldshore, Miguel Juli\u00e3o, Blake Mergler, Judith Nelson 9, Jesse Soodalter, Caywin Zhuang, Harvey Max Chochinov<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Journal<\/strong>: <em>Journal of palliative medicine<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date published: <\/strong>2023 Oct 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reference: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hadler RA, Weeks S, Rosa WE, Choate S, Goldshore M, Juli\u00e3o M, Mergler B, Nelson J, Soodalter J, Zhuang C, <strong>Chochinov HM<\/strong>.
