Aims & Scope
The Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care, now affiliated with the Social Work in Hospice and Palliative Care Network, explores issues crucial to caring for terminally ill patients and their families. Academics and social work practitioners present current research, articles, and continuing features on the "state of the art" of social work practice, including interdisciplinary interventions, practice innovations, practice evaluations, end-of-life decision-making, grief and bereavement, and ethical and moral issues.
The Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care combines theory and practice to facilitate an understanding of the multi-level issues surrounding care for those in pain and suffering from painful, debilitating, and/or terminal illness. Each issue of this quarterly journal addresses topics vital to practitioners in a variety of settings, including hospice, home health, long-term care facilities, primary and outpatient care, and oncology. Among the topics addressed are assessment and intervention techniques and the biopsychosocial and spiritual needs of individuals and families, as well as advocacy and policy initiatives.
Peer Review Policy: All research, theoretical, and review articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing three anonymous referees.
