Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research examined the basic ideas supporting hospice palliative care practices in the manner of carefully interpreting the texts written by and about the pioneers of hospice palliative movement, as well as engaging in dialogues with hospice palliative care practitioners. This led to the following eleven basic conceptions; such as “hospice movement”, “hospice palliative care”, “total pain” and “spiritual care”, “quality of life ” and “well-being”, “natural death”, “eating”, “home care”, “community”, “death” and “dying”, “care for the dying”, and “hope”. Publishing the research findings in the journals and books noted elsewhere, this research contributed to strengthen the philosophical foundation of hospice palliative care.
