[The number of individuals diagnosed with cancer among working-age populations is alarmingly increasing, and cancer remains one of the leading causes of death. Over the past few decades, the topic of staying in the labor market has become a worldwide subject of discussion regarding improving the quality of life for employees suffering from terminal illness. In this context, the importance of workplace rehabilitation, a supportive environment, and occupational health care is being increasingly recognized. With appropriate training, occupational health nurses could play a key role in collaborating with affected employees, as they can assist in assessing individual needs and ensuring reasonable accommodations in the workplace. Through their activities, the working conditions designed for terminally ill employees can simultaneously enhance quality of life and enable productive work at the end of life.]

[The aim of study is to sensitise society to the need for access to hospice care and to raise awareness of the right to end-of-life dignity through the provision of continuous information.

the method chosen was SWOT analysis and in-depth interviews. I asked 30 affected people to describe their own experiences, coping methods and the supportive environment they lived in.

The outcome is shown by the listenership of the podcast conversations, demonstrating that loss can and should be discussed in an open and honest dialogue, that the humane care of terminally ill patients at the end of life requires an open social context in addition to the provision of expertise. 

The end-of-life dignity of patients with tumours, and the support of families in this process, is a fundamental task of the hospice palliative care system, which is constantly improving, with the opening of new units nationwide. The social innovation programs are the helping need for enlarging the hospice-palliative health system.]

[Postnatal palliative care is a very under-researched and under-represented area of paediatric palliative care in Hungary.
Aim: The examination was carried out to assess, in the absence of relevant Hungarian protocols, the professional and psychological duties of nurses working in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units regarding the physical, mental, and emotional support of the child and their parents. Additionally, it aimed to identify which support programs and professional training opportunities assist these professionals who are under significant psychological stress.

The quantitative, cross-sectional, comparative study was conducted on a voluntary basis with the participation of 41 individuals, using an anonymous questionnaire method. Additionally, interviews were conducted with professionals in the helping professions (n=3) regarding their duties, experiences, opinions, and knowledge.

In terms of outcomes, it is difficult to draw any conclusions due to low participation, however, questions on newborn pain and behaviour assessment, parent support and caregiver involvement incare fortunately paint a positive picture of neonatal palliative care in this country, in contrast to the lack of supervision and training for professionals in supportive processing which can lead to distress, and burnout.

The quintessence of the research is that there is a need for guidance on the topic for both children, their parents and caregivers, as well as for professional training and supportive environments to ensure more effective bereavement processing and care.]
