dc.description.abstractTerminal illness affects the family as a social group severely, impacting on all aspects of the family's functioning. The burdens and stressors experienced by families coping with terminal illness has been well described, and included physical, emotional and spiritual components. Recognising the interconnectedness of the patient and his/her family and friends, and facilitating the process of coping is the challenge and privilege of Palliative Care Teams. Family Conferences are an intervention with which to aid and facilitate the recovery of 'balance' within a family, by providing for their needs for information, support, good communication from and relationship with the Palliative Care Team.en_ZA
