Summary

Palliative care (PC) development in Muslim Middle Eastern (MME) countries faces challenges due to cultural differences and resource limitations. Addressing these unique barriers is crucial for expanding access to culturally sensitive PC services in the region.

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care Research
  • Cross-cultural Healthcare Studies
  • Middle Eastern Health Systems

Background:

  • Palliative Care (PC) was introduced to Muslim Middle Eastern (MME) countries in 1992, but its growth and accessibility remain limited.
  • Existing PC models are primarily Western-developed and do not incorporate distinct MME cultural and religious values.
  • A culturally acceptable PC model is needed to meet the specific needs of MME patients and their families.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the differences in PC practice between Western and MME countries.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators for advancing PC in MME countries.
  • To inform the development of a culturally sensitive PC model for MME populations.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing semi-structured interviews with PC physicians and nurses experienced in both Western and MME settings.
  • Participants were recruited using snowball sampling.
  • Interview transcripts were analyzed using a modified grounded-theory approach.

Main Results:

  • Conceptual saturation was reached after 13 interviews.
  • Four key differences were identified: cultural, legal/policy, philosophical stances on PC, and resource availability.
  • Five major barriers to PC advancement in MME were noted: resource shortages, unclear legislation, healthcare system issues, lack of PC awareness, and cultural factors.

Conclusions:

  • Significant differences exist in PC practice between Western and MME countries.
  • Common barriers and facilitators for PC service development in MME countries were identified.
  • Findings provide valuable insights for clinicians developing PC services in MME settings.
