The project is conducted as a cross-over implementation project about evidence-based palliative care. It is an educational intervention with seminars for professionals in nursing homes. It takes place in two counties (Kronoberg and Skåne) in the south of Sweden. The strategy is based on two national knowledge documents concerning palliative care at the end of life and the Swedish Register of Palliative Care (SRPC). The main tailored intervention study is ongoing during 6 months. It is based on a pilot study conducted during fall 2014. The main intervention started in April 2015 in Alvesta and Ljungby municipalities, Kronoberg County. The educational intervention will be implemented in other municipal nursing homes than in the pilot/feasibility study. Implementation of the educational intervention is conducted in ten nursing homes in Kronoberg County (2015). An equal number of nursing homes in Skåne County will consist of the control group. The educational intervention will then be evaluated in the same way in the two counties through measurement before (baseline) and after the intervention. In the second phase (cross-over design) during 2016, the ten control nursing homes in Skåne will be chosen to implement the co-created palliative care educational intervention and ten new nursing homes in Kronoberg, which has not received the intervention, will be chosen as a control group in Tingsryd and Växjö municipalities.
