Abstract:

Background: Emergency nurses (ENs) often care for patients nearing the end of their lives or with life-limiting illnesses. However, ENs are hesitant to initiate palliative or end-of-life (PEOL) discussions because of a lack of comfort with these topics. Many ENs have no formal PEOL communication training which contributes to the lack of comfort with PEOL discussions in the emergency department (ED). Thus, the purpose of this quality improvement project was to determine how PEOL communication training affected rural ENs perceived comfort level during PEOL conversations. Sample/Setting: A

Abstract BACKGROUND Patients with primary brain tumors find it difficult to make decisions during the advanced disease stage and experience decreased consciousness. It is important for patients to receive supported decision-making early. Medical staff should know what to do and when to do it,but there are no clear guidelines. Therefore,we reviewed the literature for supported decision-making for primary brain tumor patients,particularly to provide information for understanding trends reported in previous research.

Abstract:

"Suspension" is the translation of the Chinese term xuanfu, which has been widely used in public discussions in China since the mid-2010s. Suspension indicates a state of being in which people move frequently, conduct intensive labour, and pause routine life—in order to benefit fast and then quickly escape. People keep moving, with no end in sight, instead of changing their current conditions, of which they disapprove. As a result, frantic entrepreneurial energy coexists with political resignation. Suspension is a life strategy, a multitude of experiences, a feeling—and now, a keyword: a cryst

Abstract:

Utilitarianism is a principle claiming that the greatest amount of happiness is an end that should exclusively guide all actions of both government and individuals. The fact that people value happiness is considered to be morally right. This principle is pursued by Jeremy Bentham, who believes that the two sovereigns in life are pleasure and pain. It holds an important aspect in law enforcement since it sees what will benefit people the most as the main discussion. Even though there is still some party that opposes or overlooks this view, especially in Indonesia, writers believe that utility i

How do we prepare our patients for decisions that will need to be made for end-of-life care? End-of-life care discussions should occur early on in the patient’s disease process and often requires a great deal of coordination between multiple caregivers.
