Alternative therapy. If a non-mainstream practice is used in place of conventional medicine, it is considered alternative (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, 2016). Hospice: Hospice offers medical care toward a different goal: maintaining or improving QOL for someone whose illness, disease, or condition is unlikely to be cured (Hospice Foundation of America, 2017). Hospice care focuses on symptom management, which enables the patient to maintain dignity and QOL (Xxxxxxxxx, 2010). Hospice care is offered both inpatient care at a facility or in a patient’s home or other location. Palliative Care: The aim of palliative care is to provide the best possible QOL both for people approaching the end of life and for their families and caregivers (World Health Organization, 2016). It is a holistic approach to care and support, and takes into account emotional, psychological and spiritual needs as well as physical needs (World Health Organization, 2016). Pain control is central to the concept of palliative care (World Health Organization, 2016). Chronically ill: Chronic illnesses are characterized by fluctuations in trajectory, uncertainty in prognoses, extended disease timelines and stress (Effiong, 2012). Chronically ill individuals live with the affliction that accompanies chronic disease (Effiong, 2012).
