Atención médica de cuidados paliativos: Ayuda durante la enfermedad terminal
Los cuidados paliativos se enfocan en las necesidades especiales de las personas con cáncer terminal. A veces conocido como cuidado de hospicio, este tipo de atención tiene como objetivo proporcionar bienestar, controlar los síntomas físicos como el dolor y brindar apoyo emocional o espiritual. Por lo general, los cuidados paliativos se proveen en casa, aunque hay centros que operan como los hospitales y proveen atención médica permanente. Su médico o asistente social pueden referirlo a un establecimiento de cuidados paliativos.
Los cuidados paliativos en casa generalmente los coordina una enfermera que se encarga de enviar un **auxiliar de salud en el hogar**, un asistente social, un terapeuta profesional, un sacerdote o el tipo de especialista apropiado para las necesidades del paciente. Los cuidados paliativos no son para todos. Es importante discutir esta opción cuidadosamente y obtener orientación de su médico, enfermera o asistente social".

Saludos.

Gracias a ti, Gaby.
Pasé a los Glosarios el término solo ante la duda de su correspondencia en español. \"Homemaker\" es quien se ocupa de las tareas del hogar, generalmente el ama de casa, así que podría ser algo así como \"asistente social doméstico\"...
Buena jornada.
