Facilities for palliative care: Patterns and contrasts
Author(s): Martens, R. M. G., Lechner, S. C. M., Bruintjes, S. A. M., Roodbol, P. F., Mobach, M. P.
Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life for patients and families who face problems associated with life-threatening illnesses. Previous studies have found that facility designs which allow for patient and family privacy, overnight stays, a sense of homeliness, and space for spiritual practices can positively influence the delivery and perception of palliative care.
