Active care of patients and their families by a group of professionals at a time when the disease is no longer treatable; must meet the physical, psychological and spiritual needs of the patient. The goal of palliative care is to reduce the severity of the symptoms of the disease (pain, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, etc.), to provide patients and their family members with a better quality of life, to help them maximize their potential, despite the inevitable progression of the disease. In palliative care:– life is affirmed and death is perceived as a normal process;– death is not accelerated or delayed;– the patient and his family are perceived as a single unit in need of care;– the patient must be freed from disturbing and painful symptoms, the treatment must be aimed at creating comfort for the patient;– psychological and spiritual aspects are combined so that the patient can come to terms with his death as completely, As possible;- A support system is provided to help the patient live as actively and creatively as possible until death;- A family support system is provided not only during the patient’s illness, but also after his death. Palliative care is effective if it is carried out by a group of specialists working in the same team: medical and social workers, psychologists, priests, volunteers, relatives, etc.
