Description
Xiaoyu Li, Feng Bai, Xinmei Liu, and Guangyu Yang review hospice care for people with late-stage cancer, in a 2023 paper. Hospice care aims to ease pain and distress in the last stage of life, and to help patients die in comfort and dignity. It blends body care with support for the mind, spirit, and family.
The review looks at what patients in China need from hospice care, starting with physical comfort. Hospice began with cancer patients and later spread to other grave illnesses. Good hospice care can lift quality of life for patients and families, cut medical costs, and use scarce care resources well. The authors note that few studies cover Chinese patients, so more local research is needed.
