Palliative care considers the person as a whole and does everything possible to preserve their quality of life within the limits imposed by the illness.<\/p>\n
But what does that actually mean?
For several weeks or even years you have been living daily with a serious progressive illness that may impact your life expectancy in the short or long term.<\/p>\n
Based on your needs, values and life perspectives, professionals from various disciplines such as doctors, nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, chaplains and others work together to discuss possible treatments, care options and support with you and your loved ones.<\/p>\n
In this way, palliative care helps make what is initially unacceptable become manageable moment by moment, while making the most of the time left to live.<\/p>\n
It is with this perspective that palliative gen\u00e8ve provides you with this website, where you will find various useful information directly answering your questions or offering links to other related organizations.<\/p>\n

These symptoms can be managed if the care team identifies them. Please discuss them with your doctor and caregivers. Depending on the situation, various professionals may be involved, such as a dietitian, physiotherapist, psychologist, and others. <\/p>\n It is essential that nutritional issues be discussed in light of each patient\u2019s therapeutic goals.<\/p>\n The onset of confusion is also very common. If you notice unusual or incoherent speech or behavior, excessive drowsiness, reversal of the day-night cycle (patient active and awake at night, sleeping during the day), loss of attention, or risky behavior, please inform the caregivers promptly to prevent caregiver exhaustion and to identify and treat the underlying causes. <\/p>\n Confusion requires urgent medical consultation as it may indicate an infection, dehydration, constipation, pain, or other potentially reversible medical issues. In all cases, appropriate treatment should be considered. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”I Have Cancer.

How can I prepare myself? ” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Discuss this with the doctor who will visit your loved one at home. They will determine the necessary support to put in place to assist you and ease your burden as much as possible. <\/p>\n To help you cope, it is important that you are informed about the possible complications that may arise (anxiety, agitation, intense shortness of breath, fever, seizures in case of brain tumor or metastases, vomiting, etc.) so you can respond appropriately. A plan will be established: who to call? what to do? which treatments to prioritize? what are the limits of home care? <\/p>\n Nursing follow-up will help detect emerging problems and address them as early as possible. Follow-up through a specialized consultation can also be arranged. <\/p>\n Most people surveyed would prefer to die at home. Despite this, many still pass away in care facilities where a team is available 24 hours a day. It is not advisable to keep a patient at home when the limits of caregivers or family supporters are exceeded. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”My father, who has a chronic respiratory illness, is hospitalized. I find it hard to accept that he is being transferred to palliative care because he has recovered each time before. ” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n It is likely that after each complication, their health condition has improved, but without truly returning to the state they were in before.<\/p>\n In cases of illnesses where health deteriorates slowly and progressively, it is sometimes difficult to realize that the progression towards worsening is very gradual yet inexorable. The patient continues to function despite increasing breathlessness, adapting their activities until every movement becomes extremely taxing, experiencing shortness of breath even at rest. This situation has therefore been palliative for some time. <\/p>\n The increasing frequency and shortening intervals between hospitalizations, difficulties with eating, weight loss, worsening shortness of breath, and extreme fatigue are signs indicating that the condition is very advanced.<\/p>\n Palliative care does not mean stopping all treatments. Only those treatments that no longer make sense for the patient are discontinued after careful discussion. <\/p>\n Treatments that can improve the patient\u2019s comfort, particularly respiratory therapies such as physiotherapy, will be continued or initiated. Morphine can help the patient feel more comfortable and reduce the sensation of breathlessness. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”My loved one has expressed a desire to die. What can healthcare providers do? ” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n According to the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS) guidelines: When a patient expresses a wish to die, the care team must take this desire seriously and seek to understand its underlying reasons. Whether expressed implicitly or explicitly, requests to actively end life are based on very different motivations. Patients are often ambivalent; they simultaneously experience the desire to continue living and the desire to die. Wishes to die must be addressed openly and without judgment.<\/p>\n \u201cSimilarly, if a patient requests assisted suicide, it is a desire to die that must be carefully evaluated.\u201d<\/p>\n To learn more: Download the PDF file \u201cAttitude towards the end of life and death<\/a>\u201d from the SAMS website<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”I am considering stopping intensive treatments. Do I have the right to refuse them? ” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Yes, you have the right to refuse treatments that cause you more discomfort (e.g., severe fatigue, pain, nausea) and burdens than benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n Talk openly and simply with your doctor so they understand what you are experiencing right now. They will be able to fully inform you about your situation and the possible alternatives. Also, discuss it with your loved ones or trusted people to receive support during this decision-making process. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”My loved one, who has a neurological disease, exhibits behavioral disorders, falls frequently, and is sometimes confused or uncooperative. I feel exhausted and depressed. What can I do? ” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n In cases of diseases affecting the nervous system such as dementias, stroke with sequelae or limited recovery, Parkinson\u2019s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Huntington\u2019s disease, maintaining care at home largely depends on the availability, physical and mental health, and support of caregivers.<\/p>\n Talk to the doctor about it. <\/p>\n If you don’t have home care assistance, it will be arranged. Associations specific to these diseases can help you. To learn more, click on the following link: <\/p>\n https:\/\/www.hug.ch\/ressources-structures-soutien<\/a><\/p>\n If a comprehensive network of home care providers is already in place, a respite stay can be planned. Additional support services should be considered. Caregivers are available to assist you with social, psychological, practical, and other needs. <\/p>\n Hospitalization or placement in a nursing home may become necessary and should not be seen as a failure or abandonment, but rather as medium- to long-term options to be prepared for before a crisis or exhaustion occurs.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is Palliative Care Intended for Patients other than those with Cancer?” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Patients suffering from diseases that severely impair the function of vital organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, or brain are likely to experience various distressing symptoms. Given the reduced duration and quality of life associated with these conditions, they may benefit from palliative care. <\/p>\n To learn more: <\/span>https:\/\/www.hug.ch\/…\/multimorbidites2016.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”My father is exhausted after multiple hospital stays.
