Left Behind: Addressing the Impact of Family Separation Due to Immigration Policies on the Suffering of Patients with Advanced Cancer
Listen to this summary
The authors investigate how family separation due to immigration policies exacerbates psychological suffering in patients with advanced cancer. Through two case studies, they highlight the challenges faced by patients who are isolated from key family members, which complicates their palliative care experience. The paper concludes with recommendations for enhancing support systems, including virtual family involvement and community advocacy, to mitigate these adverse effects.
