The influence of culture on pain and palliative care
Next>
Palliative care provides support for people with a life-limiting illness. Pain is a common symptom at the end of life and for many people it is a source of distress. When providing care at the end of life there may be cultural influences that need to be considered, and these may differ between people and within families. Here we explore some of the different cultural views of pain, serious illness and palliative care among people from across the world.

The aim is not to remember everything, but to acknowledge the diversity. Speaking with people about any cultural preferences or beliefs that are important to them is the best approach. This includes with the person and their family as appropriate and with health professionals who may have their own cultural influences.
