《加拿大医学协会杂志》上的一项新研究发现，许多接受家庭护理的老年人在去世前没有接受任何姑息性家庭护理，这表明需要改进方法来识别需要这种支持的人。 A new study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal finds that many older adults receiving home care do not receive any palliative home care before death, suggesting a need for improved methods to identify those who require this support. 姑息治疗可以带来更积极的临终体验，包括更好的生活质量、更少的焦虑、更好的疼痛和症状管理，以及在临终时可能不那么激进的护理。 Palliative care can lead to a more positive end-of-life experience, including better quality of life, less anxiety, better pain and symptom management, and potentially less aggressive care at the end of life.
