Abstract

This systematic review aimed to explore the Thai cultural perspectives of palliative care needs among people living with chronic illness. The literature reviewed the practice of palliative care with relevance to the  religious and cultural perspectives of people living with chronic illness. People living with chronic illness need palliative care with consideration on cultural backgrounds and perspectives. Knowledge of cultural and religious backgrounds of people who have chronic illnesses is important in developing a trusting and supportive relationships among patients, family, and healthcare providers. So cultural perspectives in palliative care can enhance quality of care in nursing and quality of life of patients and their families.
