Compassionate communities: design and preliminary results of the experience of Vic (Barcelona, Spain) caring cityGómez-Batiste, X., Mateu, S., Serra-Jofre, S., Molas, M., Mir-Roca, S., Amblàs, J., Costa, X., Lasmarías, C., Serrarols, M., Solà-Serrabou, A., Calle, C., Kellehear, Allan 09 March 2018 (has links)
Yes / A program of Compassionate City or Community (CC) has been designed and developed in
the City of Vic (43,964 habitants, Barcelona, Spain), based on The Compassionate City Charter and other public
health literature and experiments, with the joint leadership of the City Council and the Chair of Palliative
Care at the University of Vic, and as an expansion of a comprehensive and integrated system of palliative care.
Methods: The program started with an assessment of needs of the city as identified by 48 social
organizations with a foundational workshop and a semi-structured survey. After this assessment, the mission,
vision, values and aims were agreed. The main aims consisted in promoting changes in social and cultural
attitudes toward the end of life (EoL) and providing integrated care for people with advanced chronic
conditions and social needs such as loneliness, poverty, low access to services at home, or conflict. The
selected slogan was “Living with meaning, dignity, and support the end of life”.
Results: The program for the first year has included 19 activities (cultural, training, informative, and
mixed) and followed by 1,260 attendants, and the training activities were followed by 147 people. Local
and regional sponsors are funding the initiative. After a year, a quantitative and qualitative evaluation was
performed, showing high participation and satisfaction of the attendants and organizations. In the second
year, the care for particular vulnerable people defined as targets (EoL and social factors described before) will
start with volunteers with more organizations to join the project.
Conclusions: The key identified factors for the initial success are: the strong joint leadership between
social department of the Council and the University; clear aims and targets; high participation rates;
the limited size of the geographical context; which allowed high participation and recognition; and the
commitment to evaluate results.
