Learning contract - Capstone Project PALL8443

Syarifah Lubbna

Overall goal or aim: To identify plans and strategies that would be required to develop a community-based palliative care program in Indonesia:
Exploring the well-implemented provision of palliative care in Uganda and India

Complete the below chart:

 Week 1: Started from 11 March 2018
 Method: Rapid Review
 Literature search: The search will be limited to papers, reports, guidelines, program evaluations, survey, commentaries, and comparative
studies, published from 2000 to 2017, in relation with the development & implementation of community-based palliative care program in 2
countries: Uganda & India, to optimise the relevance of evidence into current populations and healthcare context. In addition, studies are
eligible if they provide data on available community movements, networks, organizations, or other initiatives in supporting the practice of
palliative care in the two countries.
 Search strategies: The sources will be retrieved through electronic databases such as Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SCOPUS, the Cochrane
Database of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science, Health Technology Assessment Database, and CENTRAL. Then, if the data cannot be
obtained much by database searching, grey literature & hand searching will be utilised.

Focused area:
1. Assessment of spirituality of patient with advanced cancer
2. Public health palliative care (health promoting palliative care): a population approach; compassionate community
I’ve just known that there’s a new concept in palliative caee, emerging over the past decade, in which the goals are building public policies that
support dying, death, loss, and grief; creating supportive environments (social supports), strengthening community action; developing
personal skills, and reorienting the health system (Caresearch, 2017). This new area represents an embracing a new public health idea such as
health promotion, community development, and death education into a field that was previously focused primarily on clinical bedside care
matters (Kellehear, 2013). So, it focuses of community development. But, what are these community engagement approaches exactly and in
what ways are they ‘public health’ ones? What do these approaches offer over and above a conventional clinical approach to care, or in what
ways do these approaches add value to what we already offer in end-of-life care? Community roles are important as the best cure is found in
prevention and early intervention, so prevention, harm reduction, and early intervention became watch-words for the new public health.
