The data collected and the analysis carried out in this thematic synthesis of the literature collectively contributed to identifying the facilitating and inhibiting factors regarding the complex transition process, considering the Theory of Transitions. The findings highlight the importance of personalized care approaches that address patients\u2019 emotional, social, and logistical needs during the transition to home-based palliative care. They underscore the need for enhanced communication, caregiver support, and accessible healthcare resources to improve patient and family experiences, guiding future interventions and policy development in palliative care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23779608251334031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,15]],"date-time":"2025-04-15T13:49:42Z","timestamp":1744724982000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Patients\u2019 Experiences in the Transition From Hospital to Home Palliative Care: A Systematic Review and Thematic Synthesis of Qualitative Studies"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7522-2802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Cruz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar (ICBAS), University of Porto, Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology of the Portuguese, Institute of Oncology of Porto, IPO-Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Unit in Oncology Nursing IPO Porto Research Center (CI-IPOP), Portuguese Oncology Institute of Porto (IPO Porto) \/ Porto Comprehensive Cancer Centre (Porto.CCC) &amp;RISE@CI-IPOP (Health Research Network), Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7251-5829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carla","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing School of Porto, Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"CINTESIS@RISE, Nursing Scholl of Porto (ESEP), Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6049-8646","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bruno","family":"Magalh\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit in Oncology Nursing IPO Porto Research Center (CI-IPOP), Portuguese Oncology Institute of Porto (IPO Porto) \/ Porto Comprehensive Cancer Centre (Porto.CCC) &amp;RISE@CI-IPOP (Health Research Network), Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Health, Department of Nursing, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), Vila Real, Portugal"},{"name":"RISE-Health \u2013 Health Research Network, Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Clinical Academic Centre of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro (CACTMAD), Vila Real, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12904-018-0377-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/08445621221079534"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002820-200401000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_1","unstructured":"Aromataris E.
