Providing palliative care at home and facilitating home deaths is challenging. Norwegian authorities recognise insufficient competence among healthcare professionals as a factor within this area.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To elucidate how healthcare professionals experience their utilisation of individual competencies when providing palliative end\u2010of\u2010life care at home.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative study was performed in the Norwegian home care service. Ten individual semi\u2010structured interviews with healthcare professionals were conducted.

Healthcare professionals' individual competencies made them well\u2010suited to provide palliative care, enabled them to recognise patients as unique individuals, and facilitated essential support and empowerment of their relatives.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Important individual competencies among healthcare professionals were personal intuition, compassion, attentiveness, respect, flexibility and open\u2010mindedness. The right healthcare professionals for providing palliative end\u2010of\u2010life care at home must utilise their individual competencies to seamlessly unite the art of caring with the science of palliative medicine. By doing this, healthcare professionals can better fulfil the aims of palliative care and provide high\u2010quality care for patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/scs.70267","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]],"date-time":"2026-05-27T11:37:48Z","timestamp":1779881868000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Utilisation of Individual Competencies in Palliative Care: A Qualitative Interview Study of Healthcare Professionals' Experiences in Home Care at Life's End"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Johanne","family":"Bj\u00f8rvik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging Norwegian University of Science and Technology  Trondheim Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanne M\u00f8rkenborg","family":"Bov\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospice Djursland  R\u00f8nde Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2556-5513","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beate","family":"Andr\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Nursing Norwegian University of Science and Technology  Trondheim Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization \u201cPalliative Care \u201d 2020 https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\u2010room\/fact\u2010sheets\/detail\/palliative\u2010care."},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","volume-title":"P\u00e5 liv og d\u00f8d: Palliasjon til alvorlig syke og d\u00f8ende [On Life and Death: Pallative Care to the Seriously Ill and Dying]","author":"NOU 2017: 16","year":"2017"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","first-page":"68","article-title":"The Symptomatic Treatment of Incurable Malignant Disease","volume":"4","author":"Saunders C.","year":"1964","journal-title":"Prescriber's Journal"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpainsymman.2013.02.021"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","volume-title":"Palliative Care for Older People: Better Practices","author":"Hall S.","year":"2011"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","volume-title":"EAPC Atlas of Palliative Care in Europe 2019","author":"Arias\u2010Casais N.","year":"2019"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","volume-title":"Forskrift om nasjonal retningslinje for vernepleierutdanning [Regulation on the National Guidelines for the Education of Social Educators]","author":"Lovdata","year":"2019"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","volume-title":"Lindrende Behandling Og Omsorg: Vi Skal Alle d\u00f8 en Dag.
