摘要

姑息治疗是医疗保健的一个领域，重点是减轻和预防患者的痛苦。它采用多学科团队的方法来确保对患者的“整体”护理。这在医学上是一个相对较新的概念，尼日利亚的经验尚未得到广泛研究。尽管它在二十多年前就进入了这个国家，但在融入医疗保健系统、实施和政府政策方面，它仍然面临着很多挑战。随着寿命的延长、城市化、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和包括恶性肿瘤在内的慢性病的高流行率，将有越来越多的尼日利亚人需要姑息治疗。

Palliative Care: The Nigerian Perspective

Palliative care is an area of healthcare that focuses on relieving and preventing the suffering of patients. It utilizes a multidisciplinary team approach to ensure a “holistic” care of the patient. It is a relatively new concept in medicine and the Nigerian experience has not been widely studied. Despite its introduction into the nation over two decades ago, it still faces a lot of challenges in terms of integration into the health care system, implementation and governmental policy. With increasing longevity, urban-ization, high prevalence of HIV/AIDS and chronic diseases including malignancies, there will be an increasing number of Nigerians requiring palliative care.

期刊介绍： Palliative Care and Social Practice is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes articles on all aspects of palliative care. It welcomes articles from symptom science, clinical practice, and health services research. However, its aim is also to publish cutting-edge research from the realm of social practice - from public health theory and practice, social medicine, and social work, to social sciences related to dying and its care, as well as policy, criticism, and cultural studies. We encourage reports from work with under-represented groups, community development, and studies of civic engagement in end of life issues. Furthermore, we encourage scholarly articles that challenge current thinking about dying, its current care models and practices, and current understandings of grief and bereavement. We want to showcase the next generation of palliative care innovation research and practice - in clinics and in the wider society. Relaunched in July 2019. Partnered with Public Health Palliative Care International (PHPCI) (Title 2008-2018: - Palliative Care: Research and Treatment)
