The article, which stays in agreement to WHO’s understanding of palliative care, incorporates ideas about the palliative care tasks that cover the process of dying, the adaptation to death which depends upon how old a man anticipating his own death is, and how much his individual needs are satisfied. It also provides an intelligent overview of different methods of psychological support including conversations with ill-health person, therapy through the body language, spiritual service, assistance in solving existential problems, nursing and developing self-service skills, readiness and courage to tell the truth. Accordingly, caregivers themselves need also help and support – the relatives (the spouses or offspring of a patient), professionals, volunteers, and clergymen. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repozytorium.ukw.edu.pl///handle/item/929 Arteterapia paliatywna. Barwy zachodzącego słońca Szulc, Wita Palliative art therapy is a form of care over a patient in terminal state where art in different forms is utilized. Hence, we call it bibliotherapy, poetry therapy, music therapy, and visual therapy. The choice which kind of art will be applied is with the patient depending on his preferences as well as the competencies of the person providing care. Art therapy can take a professional form when it is provided by trained art therapists, bibliotherapists and especially music therapists. It can also take an auxiliary form of support for physicians, nurses, clergymen, volunteers. In the latter case, what matters most is the personal sensitivity of the care provider not only to the pain which is experienced in the process but also the sensitivity to art as the manifestation of the most intimate and profound human experiences relating to the meaning of life and death. The paper discusses the characteristics of palliative art therapy which make it distinct from other types of therapy and focuses on its selected most representative forms. It also describes the achievements of a few most prominent artists (Munch, Mahler), which at certain stages of their lives was consoling to them at the time when their beloved ones passed away. The knowledge of this art should, in the opinion of the author, help the care providers in the palliative care better understand the emotional states of persons coping with the problems of existence. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repozytorium.ukw.edu.pl///handle/item/928 Pomoc psychologiczna online w systemie opieki paliatywnej Aouil, Bassam; Berndt, Justyna; Domińska, Karolina Online counseling is psychological assistance over the Internet, video, phone etc. According to the World Health Organization palliative care is a form of help and support that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems: physical, psychosocial and spiritual.
