- W1969223584 abstract "MOST CLINICIANS AND RESEARCHERS agree that improvement of the patient’s quality of life is the ultimate goal in palliative care. A similar approach is taken by the World Health Organization (WHO), defining palliative care as “the active care of patients whose disease is not responsive to curative treatment. Control of pain, of other symptoms, and of psychological, social, and spiritual problems is paramount. The goal of palliative care is achievement of the best quality of life for patients and their families. Many aspects of palliative care are also applicable earlier in the course of the illness in conjunction with anti-cancer treatment.”1 As early as 1948, the WHO included subjectivity in the definition of health, as follows: “Health is not only the absence of infirmity and disease, but also a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.”2 There are challenges related to both of these WHO definitions. What is the meaning or the definition of the term “quality of life”? Do patients and their families have distinct understandings of this concept? Applying this framework to clinical practice is a challenge. For example, many clinicians ask, “What is the mandate of professional health care providers? How and how much should we, as professionals, intervene in the patients’ social and spiritual life?” Another challenge is related to measuring quality of life in patient-focused palliative care and in research. Is it possible to measure quality of life? Should it be measured? If one decides to measure it, should it be done using a questionnaire or a more openended format? DEFINITION" @default.
