Abstract

In the era of HIV, palliative care is important to improve the quality of life of people living with HIV. The core activities of palliative care are control of symptoms and psychological, social, and spiritual problems. As a matter of fact, people living with HIV have a high burden of physical, psychological, and social difficulties which require palliative care that is holistic care. This implies palliative care for people living with HIV improves their emotion, physical symptoms, and psychosocial and spiritual functions. It can be provided by trained healthcare professionals, families, and community caregivers. HIV care and treatment guidelines should address the principles of palliative care, and policy should be in place to enforce its implementation for improving the quality of life of people living with HIV.

艾滋病毒/艾滋病的姑息治疗

在艾滋病毒时代，姑息治疗对于提高艾滋病毒感染者的生活质量非常重要。姑息治疗的核心活动是控制症状以及心理、社会和精神问题。事实上，艾滋病毒感染者有很高的身体、心理和社会困难负担，需要全面的姑息治疗。这意味着对艾滋病毒感染者的姑息治疗可以改善他们的情绪、身体症状以及心理和精神功能。它可以由受过培训的医疗保健专业人员、家庭和社区护理人员提供。艾滋病毒护理和治疗准则应涉及姑息治疗的原则，并应制定政策，强制执行该准则，以提高艾滋病毒感染者的生活质量。

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)
