Palliative Care Services from Past to Present

By Murat Can Mollaoğlu, Döne Günay and Mukadder Mollaoğlu

Palliative care (PC) refers to all services provided to make the remaining life of a patient meaningful and valuable. It is recommended that palliative care that is applied to improve the life quality of the patients should not be based only on the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease but also on the need of the patients. Even, palliative care was administered only in the late stages of diseases in the past, but these days it is recommended to be administered in addition to therapies starting from the diagnosis of life-threatening diseases. Palliative care requires a multidisciplinary team approach consisting of professionals who serve for a common purpose. No single palliative care model can be fit for all conditions. However, there is a universal fundamental principle of palliative care: it should address the individual wishes and needs of each patient and the relatives of patients. The development and training of palliative care services vary from country to country: palliative care services are in the development stage in developing countries, compared to developed countries. This chapter provides necessary information about palliative care services, a multidisciplinary health service.

Art Therapy with the Extent of Health Promotion

By Songül Mollaoğlu, Mukadder Mollaoğlu and Safiye Yanmış

Health and art disciplines have worked in cooperation for the development of health from past to present. Today’s understanding of health requires the integration of concepts, such as creative thinking, intuitive and aesthetic knowledge, spiritual awareness, integration, and maturation, which are extremely important in the development of health. The examination of the process of making and creating art and the development of aesthetic sensations that occur at the end of this process play an important role in both the development of health, the growth and maturation of the individual, and the recovery and repair of illness. Art activities not only support holistic health but also act as a source of motivation for well-being. The inclusion of art in health care services has positive effects on society from the more broad perspective of health professionals, patients, and their families. In this review, the relationship between art and health, which is as old as human history, is discussed in line with the literature review, and the dimension of art in improving health is examined. In addition, in line with the studies carried out, the effects of art therapy on individuals with health problems and art therapy methods are discussed.
