    Ramšak-Pajk, Jožica ; Murphy, Fiona ; Skela-Savič, Brigita
    Abstract— Palliative care in the home environment is becoming an increasingly necessary service in view of the demographic structure of the population and the complex treatment of chronic diseases. ... The primary palliative care team consist of a community nurse and the family medicine physician. Their good cooperation is an important factor of high-quality palliative care at home. The aim of this review is to discuss the role of community nurses in palliative care provision in primary care settings with a particular focus on interprofessional cooperation in palliative care teams. A rapid review of the existing professional and scientific literature was used. The total number of retrieved literature was 410, of which 11 were included in the final analysis. We used the PRISMA diagram and the COREQ checklist to ensure the quality of the included sources. The effective provision of palliative care requires interprofessional collaboration between community nurses and general practitioners in primary health care. Their role includes cooperation, communication and coordination. Some barriers to effective interprofessional collaboration have been identified, which include a lack of explicit description of each other's roles and tasks and a lack of organizational support. Finally, effective interprofessional collaboration has a major impact on the provision of optimal palliative care and needed to be explored in the future.
