Health care should make an attempt to understand the different religious principles that affect end-of-life decisions in patient care. With advanced illness, defining an ethical framework is essential to understanding sensitive issues. Compassionate care is crucial in all end-of-life care settings. Physician awareness is a key principle in inculcating the religious values of patients. Cultural and religious awareness on the part of the health-care team is needed to provide patients with effective end-of-life palliative and hospice care.
医疗保健应努力理解影响患者临终决策的不同宗教原则。对于晚期疾病，界定一个道德框架对于理解敏感问题至关重要。在所有临终关怀环境中，富有同情心的护理都至关重要。医生的认知是灌输患者宗教价值观的一项关键原则。医疗团队需要具备文化和宗教意识，以便为患者提供有效的临终姑息治疗和临终关怀服务。
