Abstract:
Around the world, there are millions of children who need palliative care from the moment they are diagnosed with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses, yet very few children have access to palliative care services. In many African countries, where palliative care is still new, many children with chronic illnesses continue to experience needless pain and suffering. The World Health Assembly Resolution 67.19 made a clear call for governments around the world to implement palliative care policies.

Palliative health care is offered to any patient experiencing a life limiting or life changing illness. The palliative approach includes goals of care, expert symptom management, and advance care planning in order to reduce patient suffering. Complex care can be provided by palliative care specialists while primary palliative care can be given by educated staff nurses. However, according to the literature, intensive care unit (ICU) nurses have demonstrated a lack of knowledge in the provision of primary care as well as experiencing moral distress from that lack of knowledge.

Abstract:
There is a clear need to account for caregiver burden in economic evaluations of healthcare interventions, since omitting it has the potential to produce skewed cost-effectiveness estimates. This is particularly important in palliative care, as interventions in this field are often explicitly intended to help patients’ families and informal caregivers as well as the patients themselves. However, caregiver burden is a complex concept with a number of different dimensions, so valuation can be a challenging task.

Abstract:
Background Modern palliative care developed in the 1960s in response to the perceived overmedicalisation and lack of recognition of the plight of the terminally ill patient. The development of evidence-based practice for palliative care has been slow and not without its difficulties because clinical trials involving vulnerable dying patients have been problematic. Prescribing in palliative care does appear to be different from other medical specialities; an example of this is the prescribing of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are a potent group of medicines, with many adverse effects,

Abstract:
Caregivers while, the biggest providers of palliative care for terminally sick patients, are often neglected in the process of providing care, which inadvertently affects their overall health and well-being. This study aims to explore the experiences of the unmet needs of the caregivers in palliative care. The literature review is based on seven quantitative, four qualitative and one mixed methodology approach studies. Results show a shortage of information given to caregivers regarding disease progression, symptomatology, support services and financial services. Furthermore the themes of unme

Abstract:
There is evidence to suggest that the role of the allied health professional continues to evolve in the delivery of palliative cancer care services. Whilst it appears that there is an increasing need for physiotherapists, there is a lack of understanding about the nature of their role, their educational needs and their place within the rehabilitation team. The aim of my work was to explore a local palliative cancer care physiotherapy service provision in the light of best practice recommendations, using both my own practice development and a research study. For my research a qualitative approa

Abstract:
In this study, the utilization of palliative care services, acute care services, and location of death for clients who were palliative and receiving services from Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) in Ontario during their last month of life were investigated. An adaptation of Andersen?s Behavioral Model of Health Services Utilization provided context and structure to this study. This is an historical, quantitative descriptive study using chart audits for data collection. The data on CCAC clients who were palliative and who died during the month of July 2009 were tracked during their

Abstract:
Doctors need to identify when palliative care patients are imminently dying so they can adjust their goals of care and treatment accordingly. The systematic review of the literature, completed as part of this thesis, showed that these decisions are very inaccurate. The aim of this thesis was to determine the judgement policies of expert prognosticators (i.e. those clinicians with a proven ability to identify patients in the last 72 hours of life). This information is needed to help the development of training programmes for less expert clinicians. In order to understand decision-making judgeme

Abstract:
The development of palliative care in terms of recognizing the needs of the dying, palliative care becoming a nursing and medical speciality, the involvement of the World Health Organization in palliative care and the continuous development of treatment modalities available to cancer patients creates the expectation that the outcomes for the patient should also be positively influenced. The purpose of the study was to determine the most common symptoms of advanced cancer patients treated in a public and private hospital in Tshwane, and whether advances in palliative care improved the outcomes
