Family Stress
Keyword(s):
Serious illness creates a need for financial and legal support for individuals and their families. Nonmedical issues are often as pressing on them as their medical concerns. Clinicians must have a basic understanding of meeting those needs of advance planning, income and family maintenance, access to insurance, and family preservation within the context of culturally appropriate care. Knowledge of community and faith-based resources to meet the nonmedical needs of the palliative care patient is an essential aspect of care. Since these are often unknown to patients and their families, the clinician must know how to guide patients through the morass of cultural and legal requirements for this purpose.
