Evaluation Report on Community Palliative Care Support Project

Published on Sep 1, 2021

Endless Care Services TWGHs

Tung Wah Group of Hospitals commissioned The Nethersole School of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) to study the effectiveness of Community Palliative Care Support Project (CPCS), and simultaneously to raise public concern on the needs of patients and family in community palliative care service, as well as to provide a platform for related frontline healthcare workers to exchange professional knowledge and experience. The research results show that CPCS is effective in relieving physical and emotional distress for patients and family when facing terminal illness. Communication among the patients, family members and medical practitioners is largely improved or enhanced through service investigation resulting in better disease management. Death is inevitable, but living with dignity and grace especially at the end stage of life is no doubt the ultimate wish of all human beings.
