életvégi

Életvégi is a Hungarian term that translates to "end of life" or "end of life care" in English. It refers to the period of a person's life when they are nearing death, and encompasses the medical, emotional, social, and spiritual support provided during this time.

Életvégi care aims to ensure comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals facing a terminal illness. This can involve pain management, symptom control, and psychological support for both the patient and their loved ones. The focus is on alleviating suffering and respecting the patient's wishes and preferences.

Discussions about end-of-life care often include advance care planning, where individuals can express their preferences regarding medical treatment and palliative care. This process helps to ensure that their desires are known and respected as their health declines.

The concept of életvégi care recognizes that dying is a natural part of life and emphasizes the importance of a compassionate and supportive environment during this sensitive phase. It involves a multidisciplinary approach, often including doctors, nurses, social workers, spiritual advisors, and volunteers.
