Included reviews were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute\u2019s Critical Appraisal Instrument for Systematic Reviews and Research Synthesis. Identified quality indicators were mapped to Donabedian\u2019s quality model (structure, process, outcome) and aligned with the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality\u2019s essential elements for safe, high-quality end-of-life care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Data sources:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane were searched from January 2000 to May 2025.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 1272 records were identified, after removing duplicates 719 were screened by title and for eligibility.
