Background: Stroke is a common neurological disease. Women with stroke suffer many physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs. Consequently, women living with stroke may have many marginalized palliative care needs as perceived by health care providers. However, the experience of women living with stroke and palliative care needs is understudied in Jordan. Aim: This study aimed to explore the palliative care needs among women living with stroke in Jordan. Methods: A qualitative descriptive phenomenological approach was employed with a purposive sample recruited from twelve women living with stroke Data were collected using face-to-face semi-structured interviews. The Colaizzi (1978) method was used for data analysis. Results: The study revealed three main emerging themes that reflected the palliative care needs of women living with stroke, which are: living with bothersome symptoms, receiving bad news, and spiritual practices, beliefs, and needs. Discussion: This study sheds light on the aspects of Jordanian women with a comprehensive view of all aspects of life after suffering a stroke. The findings suggest that the burden of stroke has far-reaching consequences for women's lives. They have many unmet palliative needs that must be considered in the treatment plan. Conclusion: This study provides insight into the palliative care needs of women. Women's health care needs included physical, psychosocial, and spiritual aspects. In line with these needs, integrating the palliative care approach with the rehabilitation program should be considered to improve the quality of life and alleviate the pain and further complications after stroke.

Most cities in the global south have evolved overtime with significant organic changes in their wake. One of the noticeable changes is the emergence of pockets of city-based agricultural activities, a previously rural-based activity. There are varying interpretations behind this new trend. With increased agglomeration arising from rural-urban migration, residents resort to farming as a panacea to urban challenges. Even employed urban residents resort to agriculture for supplementary income. This emerging scenario has generated debates, dialectics, and polemics among stakeholders as to the propriety or otherwise of this development. This chapter, therefore, takes a panoramic view to all the sides of the issue through review scoping of desktop research method. Specifically, it examines the scope of increase in urban agriculture (UA), the types and nature of UA; urban planners’ attitude towards UA, and then propose the management strategies such as promoting agriculture-friendly urban plans for access to agricultural land and practices. The findings revealed that UA takes place on residential land, undeveloped private/public lands, and riverbanks. The prominent UA activities are animal husbandry, aquaculture, cultivation of food and cash crops, etc. The urban-planning measures for integrating UA into the urban environment include inculcating UA-responsive policies in broad plans.
