Abstract
Palliative care is a crucial component of comprehensive healthcare that aims to enhance the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses. This review article provides an overview of palliative care in clinical practice, focusing on its principles, benefits, and challenges. The literature review highlights the importance of early integration of palliative care, emphasizing a patient-centered approach that addresses physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs. Findings demonstrate that palliative care interventions improve symptom management, patient outcomes, and satisfaction with care. Interdisciplinary collaboration and effective communication are vital for delivering holistic care. However, challenges such as limited access to services and insufficient education persist. Efforts to overcome these challenges include increased access, education, and public awareness. Integrating palliative care into standard clinical practice is essential for providing comprehensive care and improving the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses. Continued research, education, and advocacy are necessary to advance the field and promote the integration of palliative care into healthcare systems.
