Global Perspectives on Palliative Care is a compilation of twelve chapters consisting of research reports, integrative literature reviews, case studies, and expert perspectives that explore palliative care through the lens of a global scope of practice across healthcare disciplines, including social work, nursing, psychology and medicine. All chapters are written by global researchers and edited by a leading expert in the field of serious illness care. Each chapter is an original work that is transferable across various health settings, patient populations and levels of professional specialties, intended to promote culturally inclusive and equitable care across illness/disease conditions aimed at relieving serious health-related suffering, whether physical, psychological, social, or spiritual.
