Compendium of Pediatric Palliative Care
Author: Children's International Project on
Palliative/Hospice Services (ChiPPS)

 |
The Compendium, developed by the Children's
International Project on Palliative/Hospice Services (ChIPPS), is a
comprehensive reference on pediatric palliative care and could be used as
a self study guide. It is divided into the following four sections:
- Pediatric Palliative Care Services Communication
- Ethics and Decision-Making
- Management of Pain and Other Symptoms
- Psychosocial and Spiritual Care.
Each section lists a complete set of references and resources.
Reviewers wrote, "Excellent. Broad - deep". Another commented, "Overall,
the Compendium represents one of the first efforts to pull together a
comprehensive reference on pediatric palliative care. It successfully
covers many of the relevant topics in a fairly objective manner and could
serve as a basic reference for caregivers with limited experience in
pediatrics who find themselves caring for a child with a life threatening
illness and their family."
