Background: Palliative care that meets the specific cultural needs of elderly immigrants is apriority, to provide equitable palliative care services to all in society.Aim: The aim was to summarize published research on experiences and perspectives of palliative care among elderly South Asian immigrants, family members, health providers, and society, in relation to culture of the country of origin.Methods: A systematic review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines was conducted in February 2018, searching PubMed, CINAHL, PsychINFO and EMBASE databases. Keywords were palliative care, immigrants and South Asia.Inclusion criteria: Studies describing original research in peer-reviewed journals, providing information on palliative care of south Asian immigrants and published between 2000 and 2018. Thematic synthesis was used to analyse data.Results: Of the 87 articles meeting the inclusion criteria, 30 articles were included in the review: qualitative (24), quantitative (5), and mixed methods (1). Studies identified that role of family members and communication with health providers was important for patientsu2019 access, use and satisfaction with the existing palliative care services in the country of residence. Studies suggested that culturally appropriate care towards elderly immigrants can improve communication with health providers and thereby facilitate access, use and satisfaction with palliative care services among immigrant families. It points towards the importance of family involvement and culturally appropriate palliative care.Conclusion: Studies involving palliative care and South Asian immigrants are limited in number and are mainly qualitative. However, considering the multi-ethnic nature of the world today, findings related to the importance of family involvement and culturally appropriate palliative care may be applicable to other immigrant populations beyond South Asia ns immigrants.

Addresses issues facing the field, which is expanding beyond its original hospice base into community, hospital, clinical, and nursing-home settings and seeking to combine high-grade pain and symptom control with psychological, spiritual, and social care. The 18 studies consider policy, ethics and evidence from such perspectives as costs and resource allocation; service developments such as the evolution of the hospice approach and a Swedish model of home care; and clinical issues, among them therapeutic innovations and voluntary euthanasia in terminal illness. They also include reviews of current practice in Asia, eastern Europe, South Australia, and other regions. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Health promotion has traditionally focused on illness prevention, targeting the fit and well. But what about those who live with life-threatening or terminal illness? Health -Promoting Palliative Care proposes a model of care that goes beyond simply providing care in the final stages of lifeand draws on critical and participatory principles from both palliative care and health promotion. Emphasising early intervention and a social approach to the problems and experiences of dying, it encourages service providers, family members, and the dying themselves to seek ways to promoteemotional, social, and spiritual well-being, as well as physical health. The book begins by looking at the ways in which health promotion can be introduced to palliative care. It goes on to outline the goals and practice principles of a health promoting palliative care. Later chapters addresspractice strategies relevant to health and death education, social supports, interpersonal reorientation, and environmental and policy development. Health Promoting Palliative Care is a valuable, practical, and accessible resource for practitioners working alone or in health care institutions, forstudents of the health sciences, social work, or pastoral care, and for those working in policy areas.

The first of its kind, this book describes pediatric palliative care in more than 23 countries. Each region in the world is covered and countries included are both resource poor and rich. Authors are multidisciplinary and regarded nationally and internationally in their field. Clinicians, advocates, policymakers, funders, and researchers will learn how programs were developed and implemented in each country. Authors describe children for whom pediatric palliative care is needed and provided for in their country. When applicable, a brief history of pediatric palliative care is included noting especially policy changes and legislative acts. For example, the chapter on Poland describes how pediatric palliative care grew from the Catholic church into a national movement spearheaded by several health care workers. The Pole national spirit that brought them through a change in political regime has also been a driving force in the pediatric palliative care movement. The chapter on South Africa, for example, illustrates how a resource poor country has been able to leverage philanthropic and government funding to make its dream of having an infrastructure of pediatric palliative care a reality. These are just a few examples of the inspiring stories that are included in this book. Readers from countries who wish to start a pediatric palliative care program, or advance an existing program, will learn valuable lessons from others who have faced similar barriers. Introduction and concluding chapters highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the modern pediatric palliative care movement.
