Improving understanding and better recognition of experiences of patients and their family members through interprofessional education

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering. The palliative care support system is offered to help patients live as actively as possible until death, and offers a support system to help the family cope during the patient's illness and in their own bereavement.
