Life review

Life review is a process that involves a thorough examination and reflection on one's past experiences, memories, and life events. This process often involves the identification and examination of significant themes, patterns, and lessons learned throughout one's lifespan. Through life review, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of their own identity, values, and beliefs, and how these have shaped their present circumstances and future outlooks. It can serve as a tool for personal growth, self-discovery, and the promotion of a sense of meaning and purpose in life.

Routine community health services

Routine community health services refer to a comprehensive health care service system that is government-led, community-participated, and guided by superior health institutions. It focuses on grass-roots health institutions and is staffed with general practitioners as the backbone.

These services center on human health, target families as the unit, cover the entire community, and aim to meet the basic health service needs of community residents.
