Palliative Medical Care

Introduction. The problem of ensuring equal scope of the right to palliative medical care of citizens living on the territory of various subjects of the Russian Federation is raised. The article describes the current legal regulation of palliative care in the Russian Federation and the existing problems of providing it. Purpose. The author aims to determine the place of legal regulation in the mechanism of ensuring the right to palliative medical care and ways to increase the degree of guarantee of this right. Methodology. Methods of analysis and synthesis, formal-logical and comparative-legal methods are used. Results. A brief overview of the current legal regulation at the Federal level and in the subjects of the Russian Federation is given, and the different scope of the right to palliative medical care of citizens living on the territory of different subjects of the Russian Federation is recorded. The article highlights the consequences of different approaches to the legal regulation of the issues under consideration, and suggests changes to them. Population by sex and age, the structure of its incidence and the degree of disability in subjects of the Russian Federation are not the same, and the bodies of state power of subjects of this level have the ability to define the needs of the population in the form of medical care that is consistent with the goal inherent in the activities of the bodies of state power of subjects of the Russian Federation in the field of social security, namely with regard to the influence of the specific features on the life of citizens and securing a reasonable differentiation of social security. Conclusion. It is concluded that it is necessary to fix the guarantee of palliative medical care in the normative legal acts of the subjects of the Russian Federation regulating the issues of public health protection, regardless of the territory of living, gender, age, diagnosis and stage of treatment.

Abstract Similar to nursing homes, COVID-19 has challenged assisted living (AL), given its congregate nature and vulnerable residents. However, COVID-19 recommendations have not consistently recognized differences between nursing homes and AL, and in so doing present implications for the future of AL. This project examined COVID-19 recommendations from six key organizations and compared them across nursing homes and AL. Differences include recommending more flexible visitation and group activities for AL, while similarities suggest that AL may best integrate health care into offered services (e.g., work with consulting clinicians who know residents and the AL community). Primary points to be discussed are that COVID-19 may accelerate the closer coordination of social work and medical care into AL, because recommendations suggest AL would benefit from the services and expertise of nurses, social workers, and physicians. There seems to be an unmet need to mitigate loneliness in AL, which warrants specific attention moving forward.

At Home

The records of 43 children with mongolism living at home are reviewed to determine what the presence of such a child means to the parents and the normal siblings. Long-range decisions are usually not needed for the infant with mongolism, and the pediatrician can best serve the child and his family by assuring them that it is "all right" to have the child at home. In this series only two families were disrupted during the neonatal period of the affected infant. The child with mongolism will require somewhat more than average medical care, and his parents will need more than average support and continuous counseling. Of 43 families, 31 adjusted to the affected child without adverse effect on their way of living. The families with problems were found to need specific help and were referred to social workers or family agencies. In 33 families the normal siblings adjusted to the abnormal one with minimal adverse effects; several teen-age siblings were more realistic than their parents in accepting the assets and limitations of the handicapped child. As the child with mongolism approaches adolescence, he may be deprived of optimal training and personal guidance if he continues to live at home and in a community where no provisions are made for him; and without an adequate plan, he may come to dominate family living. In communities where special classes, social groups and sheltered workships exist, the pediatrician can continue judicious temporizing. Through his continuing contacts with the affected child and his family, the pediatrician can support the parents in their decisions, at the same time pointing out the values and hazards of keeping the child at home at various stages of development.
