Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Palliative Care
  • Positive Psychology

Background:

  • Hope is crucial for patients facing illness, regulating emotions, fostering resilience, and maintaining life's meaning.
  • While its benefits are known, few interventions actively cultivate hope for psycho-physical therapeutic effects.
  • Positive psychology offers models like Snyder's, defining hope as agency and pathways thinking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the role of hope as a virtue in the illness experience.
  • To argue for the broader application of hope therapy in palliative care to enhance patient quality of life and psychosocial well-being.
  • To examine the theoretical and practical aspects of Snyder's hope-based intervention for palliative care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on hope, positive psychology, and palliative care.
  • Analysis of Snyder's hope model (agency and pathways thinking).
  • Exploration of the application of hope therapy within the context of palliative care and compassionate accompaniment.

Main Results:

  • Hope therapy shows effectiveness in chronic illness, particularly in reorganizing goals and activities.
  • Fostering hope in palliative care can significantly enhance patients' quality of life and psychosocial well-being.
  • Cultivating hope through professional education can strengthen compassionate care and patient resilience.

Conclusions:

  • Hope is a central element in palliative care, sustaining meaning, purpose, and dignity.
  • Broader implementation of hope therapy in palliative care is recommended.
  • Strengthening patients' character through hope fosters well-being, reflecting a shared civic responsibility in healthcare.
