Abstract:
From the perspective of hospice care, focusing on the entire process before and after the occurrence of a death event, taking the interpretation of the concept of death value in hospice care as the starting point, this paper explored the value connotation implied in the process of death from the perspectives of the terminal person, caregivers, and social culture, as well as summarized the characteristics of the death value. Meanwhile, in the current social context of the difficulty in achieving good death due to the shallow understanding of death, this paper analyzed the great significance of the construction of the death value concept in hospice care for improving the personal death quality of the terminal person, promoting the quality of end-of-life, and accelerating the formation of a social environment of good death, with a view to stimulating academic attention to the construction of the death value of terminal person, and providing conceptual reference for improving the quality of hospice care services.
