Abstract

Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life of patients with a serious or terminal progressive disease, through global and multidisciplinary care. The notion of quality of life is multidimensional and unique to each individual patient, making them key players in their own care. Taking into account the different dimensions of a patient's quality of life is necessary in order to propose a personalised and appropriate care plan.

Keywords: accompagnement; care project; multidisciplinarity; palliative care; pluridisciplinarité; projet de soins; quality of life; qualité de vie; soins palliatifs; support.
