Abstract

: Over the past several decades, palliative care has seen tremendous development in Western countries, but there is still inadequate access to palliative care among non-dominant ethnocultural groups. The Chinese have been the largest immigrant group in New Zealand since the 19 th century (1) . They have unique beliefs and practices around illness, death, dying and filial piety (2) . These differ greatly from those in Western cultures and have notable implications for hospice palliative care planning and provision. However, immigrant Chinese community remains a relatively marginalised and under-researched group in palliative care (3-5) . This results in limited knowledge about its culture and people among health professionals, as well as the lack of experience in providing terminal care to Chinese immigrants. Through the introduction of New Zealand Palliative Care Strategy and the analysis of Chinese immigrants’ difficulties and preferences for palliative care, this aims to increase understanding of how cultural values of Chinese affect their acceptance and decision-making with respect to palliative care so that for efficiently providing palliative care to this ethnic minority group in New Zealand.
新西兰华人移民的姑息治疗:经验与认知
在过去的几十年里,姑息治疗在西方国家取得了巨大的发展,但在非主导民族文化群体中仍然存在着获得姑息治疗的不足。自19世纪以来,中国人一直是新西兰最大的移民群体(1)。他们对疾病、死亡、临终和孝道有着独特的信仰和习俗。这些与西方文化有很大的不同,对临终关怀和姑息治疗的规划和提供有显著的影响。然而,华人移民社区在姑息治疗方面仍然是一个相对边缘化和研究不足的群体(3-5)。这导致卫生专业人员对其文化和人民的了解有限,以及缺乏为中国移民提供临终护理的经验。通过对新西兰姑息治疗策略的介绍,以及对中国移民对姑息治疗的困难和偏好的分析,旨在加深对华人文化价值观如何影响他们对姑息治疗的接受和决策的了解,从而有效地为新西兰的这一少数民族提供姑息治疗。
