What the social sciences have to offer palliative care

Article indépendant

BORGSTROM, Erica | LEMOS DEKKER, Natashe | HOARE, Sarah

A social science approach to end-of-life care (EoLC) means paying attention to the social context in which the care of the dying, and death itself, occurs. It is about considering the actions of those involved in EoLC, including the patient, their family and healthcare staff, and the social world in which these take place. Erica Borgstrom, Natashe Lemos Dekker and Sarah Hoare describe what social sciences bring to palliative care, outlining three broad types of contribution social sciences make to understanding such care and helping the practice evolve.
