Volunteer Palliative Care Enhancing Social Support and Quality of Life in Patients with Advanced Chronic Diseases
Received Date: Apr 01, 2025 / Published Date: Apr 30, 2025
Abstract
Volunteer palliative care has emerged as a valuable complement to professional healthcare services, enhancing social support and quality of life for patients with advanced chronic diseases. This article investigates how trained volunteers provide emotional companionship, practical assistance, and community connection, addressing gaps in traditional palliative care. By fostering human connection and reducing isolation, volunteers contribute to patients’ psychological well-being and overall satisfaction with care. The study reviews volunteer programs, evaluates their impact, and discusses their potential to improve end-of-life experiences, emphasizing the unique role of non-clinical support in holistic care for this population.
