Description

This book discusses the serious consequences of experiences of death and dying, both for the dying and their family members, and the family members' grief work and health after the death of their loved ones.

The book will also present a health promotion perspective of palliative care patients, their families, and healthcare workers.

All approaches to patients and their families must be based on individual contexts and frameworks and should be adjusted accordingly.

The possibility of following up with the bereaved after the death of their loved ones as an important health promotion intervention.

The healthcare workers in palliative care are subject to different stressors than other medical professionals, and the priorities are not the same as in other settings; ultimately, fulfilling the patient's wishes as well as their needs is essential.
