講座內容 Synopsis:
現今醫療科技發達，很多疾病均可治癒或受控制。當疾病到了末期，醫療科技有時只能提供維持生命治療，但延長死亡過程對病人可能沒有意義，甚至增加痛楚。面對這情況，病人、家屬和醫護人員可以商討是否中止對生活質素沒有幫助的維持生命治療，讓病人安詳離世。香港中文大學醫學院那打素護理學院副教授陳裕麗博士和香港中文大學公共衛生及基層醫療學院助理教授鍾一諾博士會在由中大公共衞生及基層醫療學院主辦的公眾「生死教育」四講系列的第三講和大家分享『預設醫療指示』 (Advance Directive)和『預設照顧計劃』（Advance Care Planning）的概念與應用。這兩種健康護理選擇不但可以免卻家屬決定病者死時所受到的困難和壓力，減少作出決定後感到矛盾和內疚的機會，亦體現對病者生命和意願的尊重。

Thanks to the advancement of medical technology, most diseases can be cured or subsided. However, there are times that medical technology could only prolong one’s life but could not cure the terminal illness. Facing such situation, patients, family members, and medical staff can discuss whether to withhold or withdraw from life-sustaining treatments that may not help improve patients’ quality of life so that they can die peacefully. Professor Helen Chan, Associate Professor from The Nethersole School of Nursing and Professor Roger Chung, Assistant Professor of the School of Public Health and Primary Care of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, will share with us the concepts and values behind Advance Directive and Advance Care Planning in the third public seminar of the four-lecture series on life and death education organized by the School of Public Health and Primary Care, CUHK. These two health care options aim not only to reduce the pressure faced by patients’ family when making end-of-life healthcare decision, but also show respect to patients’ will.

講者介紹：
Professor Helen Chan’s research interests focus on end-of-life care, gerontology as well as care ethics. She has conducted a number of research projects on promoting palliative and end-of-life care, especially advance care planning, among older adults and people with advanced progressive diseases.
陳裕麗教授的主要研究範疇集中在臨終護理、老年病學和護理倫理學上。她的研究項目包括推廣有關老人和晚期疾病患者的紓緩照顧和臨終護理服務，尤其是預設照顧計劃。

Professor Roger Chung’s research aims to empirically inquire into the social determinants of health inequalities, as well as aging‐related issues on multimorbidity and long‐term/end‐of‐life care, and to utilize such evidence to inform health services and policy, domestically and beyond.
鍾一諾教授的主要研究範疇為健康不平等的社會決定因素，與老年有關的多重疾病，和晚期與臨終護理政策，並運用研究成果為本地及國際公共衛生服務和政策提供意見。
