Compassionate Communities and their Role in End-of-Life Care
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract
Death is a universal experience that has often been underrepresented in discussion between loved ones and the healthcare system. Given the need for support throughout all aspects of end-of-life care, an emerging paradigm shift shows Compassionate Communities as a new standard for placing responsibility back in the community and promoting respectful and compassionate care. Development of Compassionate Communities promotes quality end-of-life care designed to meet the individualized needs of the dying as well as their caregivers.
Résumé
La mort est une expérience universelle qui a souvent été sous-représentée lors de discussions entre les proches d’une personne mourante et le système de soins de santé. Étant donné le besoin de soutien au niveau des diverses facettes des soins de fin de vie, un changement émergent de paradigme démontre que les Communautés bienveillantes sont dorénavant la norme pour confier à nouveau la responsabilité aux communautés, et pour promouvoir des soins respectueux et compatissants. Le développement des Communautés Bienveillantes promeut des soins de fin de vie de qualité, conçus pour répondre aux besoins particuliers des personnes mourantes ainsi que de leurs aides.
