Guide for people in palliative care across every stage of life: Integrated Strategies for Pediatric, Adult, and Geriatric End-of-Life Care (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798250187343)

Guide for people in palliative care across every stage of life

Palliative care is not defined by age-it is defined by dignity, comfort, and compassionate support across the lifespan. Guide for People in Palliative Care offers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to delivering high-quality palliative care for children, adolescents, adults, and older persons facing life-limiting conditions.
This volume integrates pediatric and geriatric perspectives into a unified lifespan model of care, addressing symptom management, communication, ethical decision-making, interdisciplinary collaboration, home-based care, and bereavement support. Designed for healthcare professionals, social workers, educators, and policy developers, the book provides practical strategies grounded in international standards and contemporary research.
From play therapy in pediatric settings to medication safety in frail elderly patients, from advance care planning to community-based palliation, this guide bridges theory and clinical application in a holistic and culturally sensitive manner.
