Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we started with the question, if and how "European societies” such as Sweden, Germany, Britain, France, and Italy are "secularized" or "medicalized". However the trend towards "secularization" and “medicalization” is various in accordance with such major factors in background as religion, family, social system, and courtesy and therefore not easily generalized. This is why we first took a general view of the hospice palliative care development in Europe, focusing on the preceding projects of the European Association for Palliative Care. Then we investigated the introduction and the subsequent development of palliative care in European countries. Finally we came to examine end-of-life care practices and their philosophical foundations of Cicely Saunders, so as to form a clear view of the question, if it is possible to trace "routinization", "secularization" or "institutionalization" of hospice palliative care to its own origins.
