The Tumelong Hospice in Winterveldt, North West Province, South Africa, is a residential care backup for a home based care program. It is unique in that it is run by a staff of lay caregivers trained in basic palliative care with the support of one professional nurse and a visiting doctor. The hospice experienced criticism from some professionals who feel that lay caregivers are not able to run a residential hospice service. Past experience in Winterveldt has shown that lay caregivers can deliver good care with appropriate training and backup support. A literature review revealed that little research has been done in palliative care in Africa. The aim of this study was to determine patients' experience of care in Tumelong Hospice, and whether the standard of care is acceptable to the people who utilise the serivce. 2014-12-27T14:09:35Z 2014-12-27T14:09:35Z 2002 Master Thesis Masters MMed http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10226 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
