Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care (JSWEPC)

The Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care is unique in that the primary aim is to be useful to both academics and practitioners primarily in social work and other mental health professions, however it also appeals to many other disciplines who also interact with individuals diagnosed with serious, life-limiting illness and their families. Original research, conceptual, practice-focused, and reflective articles explore issues crucial to individuals with serious, life-threatening, and life-limiting illness and their families across the lifespan. The focus includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: inter-professional practice and research; practice and policy innovations; practice evaluation; end-of-life communication and decision making; pain management and palliative care; grief and bereavement; ethical issues; sudden traumatic death; secondary trauma and compassion fatigue among professional caregivers. Topics addressed may cover a range of health and mental health community practice settings. The “Reflections” section of the journal is dedicated to using creative writing to give voice to the personal impact of end-of-life and palliative care in clinical practice, community organizing, policy practice, research, and education. Content is accepted in three forms: poetry, essays, and case studies from the perspectives of the practitioner involved in the case.
