The Palliative Care Project (PCP) aimed to develop a system of coordinated care delivery in a
small, rural community to assist in the improvement of quality of life for individuals who do not
fall under the Hospice. Initially, the program goals focused on educating the community about
palliative care before implementing services. Workshops on palliative care, pain management, and
similar topics were conducted for providers. As PCP moved to direct client care, the grant program
goals focused on a service model. Direct client care goals now include appropriate and timely
service to the patient and on-going case management.
5028.172 When is suicide justified? An analysis of the attitudes of Chinese people toward suicide,
Marta Elliott, Mihaela Florea, University of Nevada, Reno, USA
This study examines the attitudes of adult Chinese toward suicide. Suicide rates are alarmingly
high among certain groups in China, such as young rural women, for reasons that are not clearly
understood. Although this study does not explain who commits suicide and why, it does reveal
why certain groups are more likely to accept suicide than others. These findings, in turn, suggest
explanations of differences in suicide rates between demographic groups in China. The data
analysis is of the World Values Survey, and includes measures of demographics, family, work,
well-being, values, and religion as predictors of attitudes toward suicide.
