Are you interested in learning how a family member views their last encounter in the hospital after a loved one dies in the hospital? A loved one’s possessions are often handed to family members in a plastic bag. Returning personal belongings to grieving families in this manner can be perceived as insensitive and discomforting.
Transitional Bridges is offering an opportunity to conduct a pilot study using Compassion Kits at two facilities. Selected facilities will receive Compassion Kits at no cost. Participation in the pilot provides a research opportunity to evaluate the impact of Transitional Belongings Bags in your service area. Healthcare professionals affiliated with acute care and inpatient hospice facilities may apply. Contact Lorene Morris at lmorris@transitionalbridges.org for more information.
