Abstract(s)
Promover a melhor qualidade de vida possível nos doentes e nos seus familiares é o objetivo primordial dos Cuidados Paliativos. A Life Review é uma intervenção psicoexistencial considerada eficaz na abordagem aos doentes em fim de vida, sendo-lhes conferida a oportunidade de reavaliar a sua perspetiva de vida, modificando a sua atitude face à morte e contribuindo para um final de vida pacificador. Dado a escassez de literatura relativa à intervenção psicoexistencial em Portugal em doentes terminais e tendo por base as suas necessidades e as necessidades dos seus familiares/cuidadores, o objetivo da presente investigação é desenvolver um protocolo de intervenção psicoexistencial inspirado na Life Review. O protocolo é, assim, desenhado tendo em conta as investigações já existentes sobre esta intervenção e as especificidades decorrentes do contexto dos Cuidados Paliativos. Além disso, estando documentado que a doença terminal se traduz numa experiência desafiante também para o sistema familiar, julgamos relevante acautelar, no presente protocolo, as necessidades dos cuidadores principais, no sentido de fazer jus àqueles que são os princípios de atuação dos Cuidados Paliativos.
The main objective of Palliative Care is to promote the best possible quality of life for the patients and their families. Life Review is an effective Psycho-existencial intervention to end of life patients that aims to reeavaluate their perspective of their own life, changing their attitude towards death and providing a peaceful end of life. Considering the scarcity of literature on psycho-existencial intervention on end of life patients in Portugal and taking into account patients and relative needs, the goal of this investigation is to develop a psycho-existencial intervention protocol based on Life Review. The protocol is based on existing literature on the intervention and on the specificities of Palliative Care context. Furthermore, having documented that terminal illness translates to a demanding experience for the family also, we thought it was appropriate, on the present protocol, to beware of relatives needs, according to the acting principles of Palliative Care.
