| Summary |
"Health promotion has traditionally focused on illness prevention, targeting the fit and well. But what about those who live with life-threatening or terminal illness? Health Promoting Palliative Care proposes a model of care that goes beyond simply providing care in the final stages of life and draws on critical and participatory principles from both palliative care and health promotion. Emphasising early intervention and a social approach to the problems and experiences of dying, it encourages service providers, family members, and the dying themselves to seek ways to promote emotional, social, and spiritual well-being, as well as physical health."--BOOK JACKET. "Health Promoting Palliative Care is a valuable, practical, and accessible resource for practitioners working alone or in health care institutions, for students of the health sciences, social work, or pastoral care, and for those working in policy areas."--BOOK JACKET |
