There is a colossal need for enhancement in clinical education surrounding the approach wherein complicated end of life news is delivered and the way to initiate dialogue with seriously ill patients and their families is important. The common observation is that a truthful conversations in the early stages with terminal patients concerning their diagnoses and advance medical directives could help the patients and their families take a well consulted decisions regarding future medical care, and also reduce their pain and anxiety. It allows patients to experience a “peaceful death”. Furthermore, end-of-life conversations normally focus on recovery plans (advance directives), but they should be broadened to contain the patients’ psychosocial, physical, and economic concerns. An apparent, sensible, and responsive end-of-life conversation can help the patients preserve autonomy and dignity in the dying process and increase their quality of life as they near death. Additionally, initiating these conversations can alleviate emotional stress and physical symptoms, and also prevent the persistent, expensive, preventable, and unwanted care. It helps grieving families through the bereavement procedure, and increase patients’ contentment with end-of-life care provisions |
