According to the World Health Organization, the main mission of palliative care is to optimize the quality of life of patients with serious chronic disease, as well as their caregivers, by providing biopsychosociospiritual care. However, historically, the primary focus of palliative care is on providing care only for cancer diseases. Based on the current literature, it is assumed that palliative care is not provided for many chronic diseases on a regular basis and in many cases, a clinical guideline does not exist for providing palliative care.
根据世界卫生组织的说法，姑息治疗的主要任务是通过提供生物心理社会精神护理，优化患有严重慢性病的患者及其护理人员的生活质量。然而，从历史上看，姑息治疗的主要重点仅在于为癌症疾病提供护理。根据目前的文献，人们认为许多慢性病并没有定期得到姑息治疗，而且在许多情况下，不存在提供姑息治疗的临床指南。
