Abstract:

Physicians and advanced cancer patients are often reluctant to talk about death. They frequently avoid end-of-life discussions (EOLds), although such conversations are essential to initiate advance care planning. In this prospective, a longitudinal multisite cohort study of advanced cancer patients and their informal caregivers, the authors suggested cascading benefits of EOLds between patients and their physicians. In total, 123 of 332 (37.0%) patients reported having EOLds with their physicians at baseline. EOLds were not associated with higher rates of emotional distress or psychiatric diso

Abstract:

This chapter summarizes Mack and colleagues’ 2012 Associations Between End-of-Life (EOL) Discussion Characteristics and Care Received Near Death, which investigates the relationship between EOL discussion characteristics and the aggressiveness of EOL medical care received by patients with advanced cancer (stage IV lung or colorectal cancer). It reviews the frequency of which EOL discussions occur in this population and explores EOL discussion characteristics including timing, location, and involved providers. It then examines how these characteristics are associated with various markers of agg

Abstract:

Many survivors of cardiac arrest, especially out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, suffer varying degrees of anoxic-ischaemic brain injury. Accurate neurological prognostication to determine which patients will have poor neurological outcome is important to guide appropriate medical care and advise surrogate decision makers. Accurate prognostication generally requires the presence of two or more negative prognostic indicators, especially following treatment with therapeutic hypothermia. Medical care should be directed at achieving survival that the patient would consider acceptable. Poor quality sur

Abstract:

Research evidence confirms that people dying with dementia receive suboptimal care compared to those with terminal cancer. Good quality end-of-life care in dementia can be achieved. It requires good communication with open and sensitive discussions about future preferences for care; advice about power of attorney, and other practical issues including support services and technology; continuity of care through a named lead GP/care-home nurse; detailed observation for signs of distress once communication has been lost; and referral to specialist services such as old-age psychiatry for behavioura

Abstract:

Advance care planning (ACP) has traditionally been identified as a means by which patients can give anticipatory directions for future medical treatment. However the narrow focus on medical treatments has been criticized by those who argue that ACP should commence early in a life-limiting illness, be an ongoing process, and encompass goals and values in a broad range of domains (e.g. cultural, spiritual, lifestyle, and/or financial). Benefits would include reduced focus on end-of-life care, alignment with person-centred care principles, and greater capacity for incorporating ‘future planning’

Abstract:

Many patients in the USA and across the world die after having received care in an intensive care unit (ICU). Allocating resources equitably and honouring the wishes of patients and their families are essential components of intensive care. Physician and patient preferences regarding end-of-life care and regarding decision control vary by individual, region, and country, shaped and influenced by a variety of factors including cultural and religious beliefs. Surrogate decision-makers are widely called upon to perform a difficult task—to help make decisions when patients lack capacity or the abi

While small in number, the place of the Indian in South Africa has historically loomed large because of their strong commercial and professional middle class, international influence through India, the commitment of many Indians to the anti-apartheid struggle and the prominent role that they have played in political and economic life post-apartheid. A History of the Present is the first book-length overview of Indian South Africans in the quarter century following the end of apartheid. Based on oral interviews and archival research it threads a narrative of the lives of Indian South Africans t

This chapter examines the ideas and policies of interculturality in relation to Kriolu. Building on the argument that there exists something like “Creole citizenship” and that it influences what it is to be “Portuguese,” the chapter explores migration as a shaping force in the “host” country. To this end, it juxtaposes a set of life stories from Cape Verdean Kriolu rappers and their families against policy documents from the European Commission and the Portuguese state agency ACIDI. More specifically, it considers what Kriolu tells us about the state of multiculturalism and interculturality as

Advance care planning (ACP) in paediatrics applies from the diagnosis of a life-limiting/life-threatening condition onwards. It encompasses the management of intermittent potentially reversible episodes through to end-of-life care in keeping with the child’s best interest. It is an active approach to managing care and acknowledges the child’s and family’s broader social, emotional, and spiritual needs and keeps the child central and paramount to all planning. It requires transparent discussions and effectively documented agreements that are well communicated, readily accessible, and immediatel

Abstract:

The untimely death of a parent is one of the most challenging events for families and the clinicians who care for them. This chapter discusses how a basic knowledge of child development and the ways that children understand illness and death can provide a template from which to engage families about how to help their children during this time and into bereavement. It addresses such topics as how children understand death at different ages, timing of discussions with children, decisions about the setting for end-of-life care in a family context, visits between ill parents and children, legacy l

Abstract:

The end of the First World War triggered the return of Alsace to France, and celebrations in Paris and Alsace marked the region’s ‘homecoming’. Yet return proved trickier than expected, as voices inside and outside the region grappled with the question of how to undo almost fifty years of German rule, and how to make the region French again. These problems proved particularly acute in the areas of citizenship, administration, and laws, which raised the questions of who and what are French? This chapter traces the debates over these areas of life. It suggests that discussions were characterized

Abstract:

This book explores the functional teleology of action present in Plato’s Republic. In many discussions of ancient philosophy, teleology is acknowledged as an important theme: events, actions, and the bodies of organisms in nature have particular characteristics for the sake of some end or purpose. Two varieties of teleology are commonly recognized, the natural teleology of organisms and the intentional teleology of action pursued with the goal of promoting a particular end. This book is devoted to the discussion of a third variety of teleology present in Plato’s Republic. In some cases, action

End-of-life issues are increasingly central to discussions within medical anthropology, the anthropology of political action, and the study of Buddhist philosophy and practice. This book speaks directly to these important anthropological and existential conversations. Against the backdrop of global population aging and increased attention to care for the elderly, both personal and professional, the book challenges common presumptions about the universal nature of “caring.” The book shows an inseparable link between forms of social organization and forms of care.
