霹靂舒緩護理協會成立于1995年，主要為末期癌症和其他末期病症病人提供護理，協助病人舒適自在走過生命最後的日子，也助家屬度過喪親之痛。高偉傑：提供上門護理服務霹靂舒緩護理協會主席高偉
傑向《大霹靂》社區報說，舒緩護理是由專業團隊為病危及無法治癒病人提供全面關懷，提供舒適和控制癌症狀況。“我們目前主要提供上門護
理服務，由護士上門照護病危病人。由于病人太多，我們會視病人的情況來決定上門探訪的次數。”他指出，對一些病情較重的
病人，護士會較頻密上門。一些
病情已趨向穩定的病人，護士可能會減少上門，或以電話保持聯絡。“我們目前上門服務的範

THE daily challenges of caring for terminally ill family members can be very stressful to many care givers.
many lonely clients and carers who have no one to talk to
care can take many forms, but it boils down to two
throughout the 12 hours were effective communication and listening, grieve and bereavement, 6 dimensions of
massage for touch care and cancer.PPCS is looking forward to activating home care
difference to our clients and family.
The following are volunteers’ feedback on the
time has taught and made me realize so much about palliative care. Volunteers were able to learn massage techniques and related topics of compassionate touch by Team PPCS. This training ensured volunteers were given adequate education on compassion and respite care. I was very inspired by the volunteers from Taiping who attended all the sessions. We also had a 13 year old participant who showed big interest in compassionate touch. It is encouraging to note that compassion can start at a very young age among our children. We realized that Communication was
to offer compassionate and respite care to palliative patients. Beside role plays on communication, we practiced hand and foot massage on each other during our training and were able to massage a few patients who participated on the last day.”
Jane Lee, Volunteer
“Volunteers have to be mindful when visiting patients and must have the skills to pick up on non-verbal cues. Compassionate
is relaxing to both parties in giving and receiving.”Lay Har, Volunteer
“My experience from this compassionate touch program was splendid and very informative. For a boy my age, I could understand a lot because the information was made simple and brief. I could tell that ’compassionate touch’ does not only talk about our hands on the patient but also how we reach the hearts of patients. The massage therapy techniques were very useful. I tried it on my parents and it not only gave them relief from their aches and pain but also de-stressed them. It was an opportunity for me to show my love for my parents. In that 4 weeks, we were equipped with some basic tools on compassionate care and were made to realize that kind words and appropriate body language was part of compassionate and respite care.

需的醫療護理、精神支援及心靈建設，減輕病人的痛楚。他說，只要有醫生證明或推荐
信，便可向該會註冊；該會必須先了解病人的病歷、服用的藥物、症狀及需要。“我們不分年齡、種族、宗教
或信仰為病人提供關懷，也可借出醫藥器材，如調整床、輪椅等；不過病人需要的藥物及護理用品，則由病者或家屬負責。”每月開支3萬靠公眾捐款高偉傑說，該協會目前每個月
開支3萬多令吉，主要用在支付薪水，其他開銷包括汽油及水電。他說，該會的經費主要靠公眾
及不同組織的捐款，有時一些活動也會為該會籌款；該會也不時舉辦籌款活動，例如年度義賣會及籌款晚宴。“有時病人的家屬也會作出回
饋，捐錢或捐出病人生前使用的醫療器材。”聘請有經驗愛心護士難高偉傑表示，除了
擔憂經濟，該協會最大的隱憂是聘請有經驗和愛心護士問題。他說，該協會目
前有6名全職護士，還有志願醫生及志工隨時提供援助。
“我們的護士都有經過特別訓練，懂得如何照顧臨終病人，以及給予病人和家屬心理輔導。”他指出，要照顧末期病患，護
士的心理素質非常重要，尤其是需要自己上門為病患提供護理；很多時候都需要他們自己決定如何診斷，而且必須要有一定的經驗，才能應付一些突發的情況。“他們需要為病人處理出血的
傷口、為病人提供溫和的按摩，根據病人的狀況作出診斷，以控制病人的病情。”高偉傑說，為了留住這些有經
驗的護士，以及讓護士看到前景，該協會給予這些護士與醫院同等薪水，也鼓勵護士進修，目前其中2名護士已考獲學士學位。霹政府免費租借會所高偉傑指出，該協會成立初
期，是以霹靂人民醫院一間小房作為辦公室，1999年該協會搬到怡保吉靈當拉森路，後來就搬到桂和園。他說，如今在怡保老虎巷的這
間獨立式洋房，是州政府免費給該協會使用。該協會去年搬來，繼續為病人提供舒緩護理服務。“雖然由州政府免費租借，但
始終不是屬於協會本身所有，因此我們預留一筆錢作為建築基金，日後如需搬遷，也有一筆錢。”
連慧怡：末期也能活得快樂霹靂舒緩護理協
會委員連慧怡說，末期病患並不一定是等死，他們也可活得快樂，因此協會安排每兩星期四舉辦一次陽光時刻，讓病情較穩定病人參與；每逢星期三也有藝術班，讓病人參與活動放鬆心情。
她說，到來協會的病人，大多都是被醫生診斷為只有3至6個月生命，有些病人註冊不久就離開人世。有些活了超過6個月，而且病情慢慢穩定。“我們希望在病人有限的生命
期，加寬生命的寬度，讓他們的生命變得有意義及更充實。
Dance Centre助籌款12月9演芭蕾舞名劇
Dance Centre（舞蹈中心）將於12月9日（星期二）晚上7時30分，在怡保近打河畔酒店宴會廳呈獻大型芭蕾舞經典名劇“夢偶情緣之夜” ，為慈善教育籌款，會把籌得的20%捐獻給霹靂舒緩護理協會。
