Palliative care does not mean the end of time
Journal Title: Revista Cuarzo - Year 2015, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
Recent studies have revealed that teams of primary health care are not trained to deal with the dying patient, family and much less prepared for the proper handling of truth and decision making at the end of life. There are several confl icts that are facing the healthcare team before the terminal illness, unlike problems faced in any human life cycle, the end of life requires an interdisciplinary group that ad-dresses the different stages of the patient, family and staff salud1,19 same. Team insecurity due to lack of knowledge in Palliative Care (CP) moves to the continued suffering of the patient and microworld. Statistics on research in CP, have shown that the development of palliative care and national health systems are related to per capita income, in other words, greater welfare greater economic spending, especially at the end of the life.4. This article refl ects on this situation, considering that 32% of countries have not yet become professionals in medical health, nurse, psychologist, nutritionist, social work in palliative care or undergraduate or graduate, this practice is allowed volunteers or caregivers of elderly homes or special care and even health staff are trained to care for, this feature has been forgotten and there leave the innumerable complaints therapeutic abandonment
