According to The World Health Organisation palliative acre is an approach that improves the quality of patients and their families when facing problems associated with life threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification, impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems such as physical, psychosocial and spiritual.”(WHO, 2010). WHO also defined quality of life as a person’s perception of their position in life regarding their cultures and values systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns. Sirgy et al (2004) also defined quality of life as the “The product of the interplay among social, health, economic and environmental conditions which affect human and social development. Quality of life in end of life care can be defined in several ways, depending on how the sickness and treatment impacts the psychological, social, economic wellbeing of an individual as well as their physical health . It is important to provide the highest quality of care to people nearing the end of their lives in order to enhance the quality of their life. Physical, psychological, spiritual and social needs of the dying person must be safely, affectively and appropriately met accordingly, this can be medicine for symptom control, equipment, counselling services.
