Received Date: Mar 02, 2024 / Published Date: Mar 29, 2024
Abstract
Pediatric palliative care is a specialized field aimed at improving the quality of life for children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and their families. This abstract examines the ethical issues and best practices inherent in providing compassionate care for seriously ill children. Grounded in principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice, pediatric palliative care emphasizes a family-centered approach that addresses the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of children and their families. Key ethical considerations include pain and symptom management, advance care planning, and cultural and spiritual sensitivity. By embracing ethical principles and adopting a holistic approach to care, pediatric palliative care providers can ensure that seriously ill children receive compassionate and dignified care throughout their journey.
