Health promotion, interdisciplinary health undertaking, is an obligation for all “health sciences” representatives to co-operate. Health promotion and health education for the palliative care patients may seem apparently as a paradox, however the palliative care philosophy is based on achieving in the holistic scheme the best possible quality of life of patients and their families. More and more popular becomes the strategy implying that all medical professions could apply above rules to patients who need supportive and palliative care. Nurses are fulfilling the key role in this scheme, and complexity of nursing services were analyzed in many studies.
