Abstract

Palliative care (PC) refers to all services provided to make the remaining life of a patient meaningful and valuable. It is recommended that palliative care that is applied to improve the life quality of the patients should not be based only on the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease but also on the need of the patients. Even, palliative care was administered only in the late stages of diseases in the past, but these days it is recommended to be administered in addition to therapies starting from the diagnosis of life-threatening diseases. Palliative care requires a multidisciplinary team approach consisting of professionals who serve for a common purpose. No single palliative care model can be fit for all conditions. However, there is a universal fundamental principle of palliative care: it should address the individual wishes and needs of each patient and the relatives of patients. The development and training of palliative care services vary from country to country: palliative care services are in the development stage in developing countries, compared to developed countries. This chapter provides necessary information about palliative care services, a multidisciplinary health service.

姑息治疗服务从过去到现在

姑息治疗(PC)是指为使病人的剩余生命有意义和有价值而提供的所有服务。建议姑息治疗不仅要以疾病的诊断和预后为基础，还要以患者的需要为基础，以改善患者的生活质量。甚至，在过去，姑息治疗只在疾病的晚期阶段实施，但现在，除了从诊断危及生命的疾病开始的治疗外，还建议实施姑息治疗。姑息治疗需要一个多学科的团队方法，包括为共同目的服务的专业人员。没有一种姑息治疗模式可以适用于所有情况。然而，姑息治疗有一个普遍的基本原则:它应该满足每个病人和病人亲属的个人愿望和需求。缓和医疗服务的发展和培训因国家而异:与发达国家相比，发展中国家的缓和医疗服务处于发展阶段。本章提供了有关姑息治疗服务的必要信息，这是一种多学科的卫生服务。

期刊介绍： Palliative Care and Social Practice is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes articles on all aspects of palliative care. It welcomes articles from symptom science, clinical practice, and health services research. However, its aim is also to publish cutting-edge research from the realm of social practice - from public health theory and practice, social medicine, and social work, to social sciences related to dying and its care, as well as policy, criticism, and cultural studies. We encourage reports from work with under-represented groups, community development, and studies of civic engagement in end of life issues. Furthermore, we encourage scholarly articles that challenge current thinking about dying, its current care models and practices, and current understandings of grief and bereavement. We want to showcase the next generation of palliative care innovation research and practice - in clinics and in the wider society. Relaunched in July 2019. Partnered with Public Health Palliative Care International (PHPCI) (Title 2008-2018: - Palliative Care: Research and Treatment)
