“Hospice palliative care is aimed at relieving suffering and improving the quality of life for persons who are living with, or dying from, advanced illness or are bereaved.
Palliative care is a special kind of health care for individuals and families who are living with a life-limiting illness that is usually at an advanced stage.
The goal of palliative care is to provide comfort and dignity for the person living with the illness as well as the best quality of life for both this person and his or her family.
Quality hospice palliative care neither hastens death or prolongs life. The goal of hospice palliative care is to improve the quality of life for patients and their families facing problems associated with life-threatening illness.”
Les soins palliatifs sont des soins de santé offerts dans le but de soulager la souffrance que ressentent les personnes ayant une maladie grave ou potentiellement mortelle, généralement en stade avancé, et à améliorer leur qualité de vie.
Ainsi, ces personnes peuvent vivre dans le confort et la dignité, et profiter de la meilleure qualité de vie possible.
De plus, les soins palliatifs visent à apporter du soutien à la famille et les proches des personnes malades ou en fin de vie.
Les soins palliatifs de qualité ne hâtent pas la mort et ne prolongent pas la vie.
