Navigating the delicate balance of autonomy and harmony: a case study on the cultural adaptation of palliative care interventions in China

This study underscores the critical role of cultural adaptation in implementing palliative care interventions for Chinese patients. The findings demonstrate that culturally adapted palliative care interventions, grounded in relational autonomy, effectively supported a Chinese patient's autonomy and personal transformation while maintaining relational harmony. These insights are instrumental in informing the provision of culturally adaptive end-of-life care practices in Chinese healthcare.
