Objective
To summarize studies about palliative care (PC) in mainland China and to provide a guidance for propagandizing the concept of palliative care and to carry out related investigations.


Methods
Key words of"Shu Huan Yi Xue, Gu Xi Zhi Liao, An Ning Liao Hu, Ling Zhong Guan Huai, Shu Huan Yi Liao", together with"conception, acceptance"were used in CBM.And"palliative care AND China AND(acceptance OR acknowledgement OR concept OR conception)"were used in PubMed.Above searches were for articles, without any other limitations such as publishing date, author, journal, type or language.Eligible articles investigating acceptance of palliative care in mainland China were screened out with artificial work.Descriptive analysis was adopted as a statistic method.


Results
A total of 35 articles related with palliative care were picked out.Most of the investigation methods were questionnaire.The palliative care-accepting degrees were 25.3% to 86.6% in overall, 25.3%~70.8% in the elderly, 30.8%~56.2% in advanced stage of cancers, 61.7%~68.4% in families of patients, and 56.6%~95.8% in health care workers.In the subgroup analysis, the acceptance showed no difference between genders.But age, followed by careers, degrees of medical education and religions and nationalities were all effective factors for the acceptance of palliative care, which was mostly agreed in all the articles.
