Sammanfattning
Hospice care is characterised by
individual care at the end of life.
The patient is aware of the situation
and Hospice staffs help patients
and their relatives to accept
the process and together plan for
palliative care. When the patient
dies the staff give support to the
relatives. The aim of this study
was to compare the perception of
care between the patient and the
relatives in a small hospice setting.
Nine patients were interviewed
and 58 relatives answered a
questionnaire.
Findings show that patients get
good help with palliative care
such as active treatment of pain
and other symptoms of discomfort.
The patients appreciate the
individual caring delivered at
Hospice. Relatives value the support
from the staff when the patient
dies and afterwards. A difference
was found showing patient
miss their normal bodies function
while relatives think the patient
particularly miss their home and
families at the end of life. The
study shows the importance of
asking the patient himself of their
opinion about caring and not
only asking their relatives.
