Abstract
With the advent of the aging society, cancer patients are increasing, and the demand for hospice care also increases in South Korea. At present, South Korea hospice and palliative care services mainly focus on cancer patients. South Korea's hospice and palliative care has gone through more than 30 years of development, and has developed rapidly in the past 15 years. At present, there are 99 hospitals providing hospice and palliative care services in South Korea. Patients can enjoy three types of services: inpatient care, counseling care, and home care. The service team consists of 5 departments including doctors, nurses, social workers, religious figures, and volunteers. Each department collaborates with each other as needed to provide services to patients and their families. The Korea National Cancer Center has set up a "standard education" to ensure the professionalism of service personnel. Besides, some hospitals are commissioned by government for training service personnel internally and externally. Hospice care in South Korea is still developing, however, there are also various problems that need to be further improved.关键词
