Abstract:
Hospice is a place of caring, a place where life is measured in quality, not quantity. During a terminally ill patientâ s final weeks, days or hours, it is important that hospice facilities provide comfort through any and every means possible. The physician administers pain relief, the building has the ability to administer a kind of relief the patient may not even cognitively perceive. Through the eyes of a terminally ill patient, the architect should consider the views, connections and relationships the patient has with their surroundings.

Abstract:
Patients with terminal illness may benefit greatly from hospice and palliative care. Studies of patients with chronic terminal illness revealed that those who did not received palliative or hospice care experienced poor quality medical care characterized by untreated symptoms, unmet spiritual and personal care needs, increased burden for the caregiver, and low patient and family satisfaction (Meier, 2011). According to the World Health Organization (2011), palliative care is offered at the time of diagnosis alongside potentially curative treatment and can be utilized during the trajectory of

This qualitative phenomenological study attempts to gain the physician's essences, meanings and understanding surrounding death and dying. Starting with themes revealed in literature, in-depth interviews were used to ask selected physicians providing care: How does death affect them? Are physicians receiving adequate training in end-of-life care? Does the medical culture still see death as failure? How do they find meaning in end-of-life care? Using three different groups of physicians: early in career, mid-career, and retired, this research attempted to examine the phenomena of death and

Abstract:
Societies have an ethical responsibility to provide the dying with the highest possible quality of care. Yet, terminal patients are sometimes lost in a healthcare system that emphasizes procedure over the individual. This project envisions a new approach - a restructuring of the current system. A shared facility that combines rehabilitation and home care with end of life care, promoting flexible treatment to be tailored to each patient according to their individual needs.<br>Vårt samhälle har ett etiskt ansvar att tillhandahålla döende med högsta möjliga vårdkvalitet.

Palliativ vård – vård i livets slutskede – är inte prioriterat i tredje världen. I Uganda grundades 1993 Hospice Africa Uganda (HAU), ett hospice som var tänkt som modell för andra afrikanska länder. Här utbildas bl a sjuksköterskor som har rätt att skriva ut morfin och andra läkemedel efter en nio månader lång kurs. I den här etnografiska fältstudien används observationer, intervjuer och gruppintervjuer för att undersöka sjuksköterskan roll inom palliativ vård i Uganda. I studien deltar sammanlagt 20 sjuksköterskor som jobbar på HAU, Mulago hospital och studenter i palliativ vård-kursen på HA

Firstly, the literature exploring associations between attachment orientation, burnout, compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction in employees was reviewed. This added to a previous review by exploring compassion satisfaction and investigating potential mechanisms to account for any associations between these constructs. Twenty-six empirical studies were identified. Collectively, the reviewed articles suggested that secure attachment style offers protection from burnout and that attachment anxiety is associated with higher levels of burnout and compassion fatigue amongst employees.

The Hospice Palliative Care, which was originated from England, is a better medical care for terminal cancer patients. To define the quality of Hospice Palliative Care it is necessary to have an excellent evaluation tool, and further to use these evaluations in practice to improve the quality of the Hospice Palliative Care. The purpose of this study was to use the Palliative Care Outcome Scale(The POS), which published by Higginson et al in 1999, as quality indicator for Hospice Palliative Care units
