Abstract

I have focused on hospice which is a home for those who have a terminal disease and are in the final stages of life. Hospice care is more than just the regular hospital medical care. Instead, it is built on a philosophy of care where the patient’s physical, existential and psychological needs are in focus. I will show my interpretation of how a hospice could be built to provide better quality of life in the final stages of life. I have focused on the hospice as a whole, but mainly the rooms and how these can contribute to increased well-being.

Sammanfattning

Det jag riktat mig in på är hospice och det är ett boende för de som har en obotlig sjukdom och befinner sig i slutskedet av livet. Ett hospiceboende skiljer sig från det vanliga sjukhuset, där omsorgen är mer än bara medicinsk vård. Fokuset ligger istället i helheten och man talar om en filosofi av vård där patientens fysiska såväl existentiella och psykologiska behov är i fokus. Jag kommer visa min tolkning av hur ett hospice skulle kunna bidra till bättre livskvalitet i slutskedet av livet. Jag har lagt fokus på helheten men främst rummen på ett hospice och hur dessa kan bidra till ökat välmående.
