Palliative care (PC) is the comprehensive integrated care of patients and their families who are facing problems associated with a life-threatening illness. In 2014, the World Health Assembly Resolution on Palliative Care called for all countries to incorporate palliative care provision into their healthcare systems. Unfortunately, the desired outcomes have not been obtained yet, and there is still a substantial unmet need for palliative care for chronic life-limiting health problems in most parts of the world. Turkey is a large peninsula situated between the continents of Europe and Asia. It is a modern, secular and unitary republic that bridges different religions and cultures. The population of the country is increasing similarly to world statistics, with 4.3% of people 65 years or older in 1990, 5.7% in 2000 and 8.3% in 2016 (Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health, 2017). Along with the ageing of the population, the incidences of cancer and other non-communicable chronic diseases are also increasing at a rapid rate. Cancer was reported to be the cause of 20% of death after cardiovascular diseases in Turkey. Therefore, the need for palliative care for cancer and other chronic life-limiting diseases is increasing in the same manner. The awareness of palliative care has started in the 1990s and disseminated very slowly through the years in Turkey. It gained acceleration with the Transformation Programme in Health which
Patient safety culture is related to nurses' working conditions and the attitude of management towards errors, etc. The results of this study will provide a contribution to the development of healthcare and healthcare training policies for critical units vulnerable to patient safety violations.
Palyatif Bakım (PB) yaşamı tehdit eden hastalığa bağlı sorunla karşılaşan hasta ve ailelerinin yaşam kalitesini artıran bir yaklaşım olarak tanımlanmaktadır. PB hizmetleri, çoğunlukla hastanelerde yataklı tedavi birimlerinde verilmekte olup ciddi hastalığı olan hastalar için uygun bir bakım verme modeli olarak kabul görmektedir. PB ihtiyacının artmasıyla birlikte, birçok sağlık sistemi, hastane, hastane dışında ve evde bakım hizmetlerine PB'yi entegre ederek yeni programlar geliştirmektedir. Ev temelli PB ileri dönem kalp, böbrek, solunum yolu hastalıkları, kanser ve kronik nörolojik bozukluklar gibi kronik, yaşamı sınırlayıcı sağlık sorunları olan, hastaların yaşadığı evde, fiziksel, psikolojik ve manevi ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasını sağlayan, bakım yaklaşımıdır. Doktor, hemşire vb. sağlık çalışanları ve gönüllülerinden oluşan, PB konusunda eğitilmiş multidisipliner bir ekip tarafından hastanelerin PB programlarına bağlı olarak verilir. PB ihtiyacı olan bu hastalar genellikle yaşam sonu dönemlerini yoğun bakım ünitelerinde (YBÜ) geçirmekte olup YBÜ'de kalış süreleri ve mortalitelerinin yüksek olduğu, ayrıca maliyelerinin de fazla olduğu bilinmektedir. Ev temelli PB gelişmiş ülkelerde yaşamı sınırlayıcı hastalıkları olanlar için bir bakım modeli olarak görülse de henüz yeterli değildir. Ülkemizde de nüfusumuz her geçen gün yaşlanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte PB ve evde bakım hizmetleri oldukça yeni olup her ikisi de ihtiyacı karşılayacak düzeyde değildir. Bu nedenle ülkemizin sosyokültürel yapısı ve sağlık politikalarına göre PB hizmetlerinin evde sağlık hizmetlerine entegre edilmesi gereklidir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Evde bakım, palyatif bakım, kronik kritik hastalık Palliative care (PC) is defined as the approach that improves quality of lives of patients and their families who face up with the problems accompanied with life-threatening conditions. Provided usually in an inpatient setting, PC services are considered as an appropriate caregiving model for patients with critical illnesses. As the need for such services increases, many healthcare systems has been developing novel programs that integrate PC to their healthcare services in-hospital, outside the hospital, and home-based settings. Home-based PC is the care approach that provides meeting of physical, psychological, and moral needs of the patients with chronic and disabling health problems such as advanced cardiac, renal, respiratory, malignant, and neurological conditions in homebased setting. It is provided by a multidisciplinary team that has training in PC and that consists of physicians, nurses, public health professionals, and volunteers in line with PC programs of hospitals. Patients in need of PC have higher mortality and length of stay at intensive care units (ICU) with increased costs; in fact, they often live their terminal days in ICU. Even though it is considered as a model of care for those with life-limiting conditions in developed countries, home-based PC is still not sufficient. In our country, population gets older year by year. However, PC an...
