Abstract

This research investigates the integration and efficacy of palliative care within end-of-life health practices. Palliative care aims to enhance the quality of life for patients with life-limiting illnesses by addressing physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs. Through a comprehensive review of literature, this study explores the role of palliative care in improving patient outcomes, managing symptoms, and enhancing overall satisfaction with end-of-life care. Additionally, it examines barriers to the implementation of palliative care and identifies strategies for overcoming these challenges. By elucidating the intersection between palliative care and end-of-life health practice, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on optimizing end-of-life care delivery.
