Thesis (MTech degree in Nursing)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2011. / Quality of life has been well researched, especially with respect to cancer sufferers, but not necessarily from the perspective of the patient and also not in third-world, resource-poor countries. In this study quality of life was researched from the perspective of the palliative patient living in Soshanguve, a township 45 kilometres from Pretoria in South Africa. The patients were managed at the palliative care nursing community of practice in Soshanguve and suffered from cancer, HIV and AIDS, pulmonary tuberculosis, cerebrovascular incidents and chronic pain due to arthritis.
