End-of-life care is a specialized area of healthcare that focuses on providing comfort and support to individuals who are facing a terminal illness or nearing the end of their life. This type of care aims to help patients and their families make decisions about their care, manage symptoms, and provide emotional and spiritual support during this difficult time. End-of-life care may include palliative care, which is aimed at relieving pain and improving quality of life, as well as hospice care, which is focused on providing comfort and support to individuals in the final stages of a terminal illness. This area of research also explores ethical and legal issues related to end-of-life care, as well as the impact of cultural beliefs and values on decision-making and care delivery. Researchers in this field work to improve the quality of end-of-life care and support for patients and families facing the end of life.
