Palliative care emphazises relief from pain and other distressing symptoms, integrates the physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of patients care, offers a support system to help the patient live as actively as possible until death, and a support system to help the family cope during the patients' illness and in bereavement. (Woncadic)Patient Comfort ; Patient care intended to prevent or relieve suffering in conditions that ensure optimal quality living. (MeSH 2017)TERMINAL CARE ; the care provided to patients in the last phase of incurable disease and their families.
