Through an in-depth analysis of current and historical literature, this thesis explores the question: what is hospice and end of life care for children? I will dissect the various dimensions of children’s hospice care and how it has evolved over time. Also in my thesis, I will draw from my personal experiences in volunteering at a children’s hospice to discuss the support and care that volunteers receive. Through this literature review I hope to bring to light to a subject that is often overlooked or too difficult for people to discuss. I will propose plans to better the care for children and families who are facing the end of life. My thesis will summarize the current literature available about the type of care that children receive worldwide and how this care affects families and children’s well-being. There has been minimal research done on children in end of life due to the topic’s sensitive nature. My goals is to inform the public of an under discussed but important topic in paediatric medicine.

History Of

Care for African-American patients and families at the end of life presents a unique challenge to healthcare providers. Providers need to be culturally and historically competent to effectively serve persons with a long history of distrust of the white-dominated healthcare system. Effective means of addressing outreach, access, and service issues for this community need to be twofold. They must focus on those who deliver the care and those who receive it. This twofold focus inspired the education and community outreach that were key elements in this ACE Project. The resources of the Duke Institute on Care at the End of Life (ICEOL), particularly their APPEAL curriculum, was key to strengthening end-of-life care in the internal culture of Abington Memorial Hospital and the community they serve.

History Of

As a practical expression of their faith, Seventh-day Adventists have established healthcare institutions, including facilities for the intensive care of newborn infants. This chapter provides a brief history of Adventist engagement in health care and seeks to explain how core Adventist convictions provide the motivation for providing such care and shape the way it is given. The chapter also describes how Adventist beliefs may affect the ways in which Adventists or their family members receive health care. This includes beliefs in divine creation, human wholeness, freedom of conscience, spiritual commitment to health, and worldwide mission. Adventists believe that, by the Creator’s design, each person is a spiritual and physical unity. Using the example of a specific case of neonatal intensive care, the chapter explores how Adventist convictions are likely to support and inform caregiving and care receiving. Also described are Adventist principles for end-of-life care.
