| Abstract | Palijativna skrb se može definirati kao pristup pomoću kojeg se bolesniku koji boluje od teške neizlječive bolesti može pomoći poboljšati kvaliteta života od dijagnoze pa sve do smrti. Djeluje multiprofesionalnim i interdisciplinarnim timskim načinom rada na tri razine kao palijativni pristup, opća palijativne skrb i specijalistička palijativna skrb te se kao četvrta razina spominju centri izvrsnosti.
Zdravstvena njega bolesnika s potrebom palijativne skrbi je specifična zbog specifičnosti raznih malignih oboljenja. Rad po procesu zdravstvene njege s individualnim, holističkim pristupom je temelj za dobru palijativnu skrb. Koordiniranje, rukovođenje timom, utvrđivanje potreba, planiranje, provođenje i evaluacija ciljeva zdravstvene njege kompetencije su kojima se vodi medicinska sestra/tehničar u palijativnoj skrbi. SPIKES protokol koji se primjenjuje prilikom priopćavanja loših vijesti služi kako bi se prikupile informacije, prenijela medicinska saznanja, pružila podrška bolesniku, pridobilo njegovo povjerenje za daljnju suradnju i na kraju izradila strategija za buduće intervencije. Medicinska sestra/tehničar zajedno s bolesnikom i njegovom obitelji prolaze kroz sve faze koje su potrebne da bi bolesnik prihvatio svoju bolest i da bi se mogao pripremiti za dostojanstvenu smrt.
Psihološka podrška palijativnom bolesniku se temelji na fizičkoj pomoći i dobroj komunikaciji kojom se u ovoj skrbi postižu zacrtani ciljevi, a prema izrađenim planovima, provodi se palijativna skrb s kontinuiranom evaluacijom. Važna zadaća medicinske sestre je da sudjeluje u skrbi za bolesnika na način da mu pomaže u prepoznavanju, razvijanju i primjeni strategija za suočavanje s neizlječivom bolešću. U skrb za bolesnika s potrebom za palijativnom skrbi te njegovom obitelji palijativna skrb uključuje duhovnu dimenziju skrbi te je medicinska sestra nakon smrti podrška cijeloj obitelji u procesu žalovanja. |
