Integrative Nursing in Palliative Care and End-of-Life
Keyword(s):
Contrary to popular belief, palliative care, or hospice, is not withdrawing care but rather shifting the focus from curing disease and illness to a journey of living with disease/illness, optimizing quality of life, while at the same time finding value and meaning in the transitions toward conscious dying—guiding the sacred passage. The purpose of this chapter is to disarm the fear and discomfort around illness and death through exploring integrative nursing principles that guide palliative and end-of-life care and by reframing how care is delivered during these crucial moments, inviting an ethic of evolving human-centered care with nurse as the primary healing instrument.
