慢性疾病负担的增加要求姑息治疗临床医生解决非恶性疾病患者的需求。本讨论文件旨在解决为终末期痴呆症(ESD)提供姑息治疗的一些挑战,以及提高关键护理提供者技能的必要性。尽管有这样的意图,但显然缺乏为这些人及其家庭提供的适当、协调和全面的姑息治疗。没有明确的模式来协助可持续发展教育客户的卫生保健提供者。看来,制定和评估指导方针、实施教育计划以及缓和医疗和老年护理提供者之间的合作协会是促进可持续发展教育客户缓和医疗的关键战略。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The increasing burden of chronic di8ease demands that palliative care clinicians address the needs of patients with non-malignant disease. This discussion document seeks to address some of the challenges to providing palliative care for end-stage dementia (ESD) and the need for skill enhancement in key providers of care. In spite of the intent, there is an apparent lack of appropriate, co-ordinated and comprehensive palliative care available for these individuals and their families. There is an absence of well-articulated models to assist health care providers of ESD clients. It would appear that the development and evaluation of guidelines, implementation of education programs and collaborative associations between palliative and aged-care providers of care are key strategies to facilitate palliative care for ESD clients.
