Insights on Palliative Care

Sabariah Yusof

Medical problems can't always be fixed, despite advancements in modern medicine. Death and dying are unavoidable aspects of life, and each one is a personal experience. No two end of life situations are the same. If an individual has a life-limiting illness, meaning it cannot be healed and will cause them to die, the focus of their treatment will change from attempting to heal them to providing the best quality of life possible. Palliative care isn't just about those in their final days. An individual can receive palliative care for many years, months, weeks, or days, depending on their circumstances. Palliative care may be given at a person's home, in a residential aged care facility, at a hospice, or in a hospital. It is open to anyone of any age, culture, history, beliefs, or place. The current paper give an overview on palliative care & its importance and nurses role as well as discussion on the challenges that faced by nurses during palliative care.
