Abstract:

Palliative care commenced in Australia in the early 1980s. Although the value of palliative care has become more widely recognised by the public and other health care professionals, there is still a lack of understanding about what palliative care is and the depth and scope of this specialty area of health care. The research that I present in this thesis is based on examination of palliative care practice in a selection of Australian services, undertaken with the aim of enhancing understanding of Palliative Care. The significance of the research arises from the notion that members of the Austr

Urban Bioethics<br>M.A.<br>When looking at the natural course of life, death is the natural conclusion. Majority of the time, people do not choose when and how they die. Death and dying are topics that are difficult to discuss for many individuals. However, when one decides to choose the context of their death, it raises many ethical considerations. Psychiatry, as a field, looks at the psychodynamics of death and dying for individuals. It is also poised to comment on the growing use of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia for psychiatric disorders. Through a review of the literature, theo

Abstract:

Protecting and promoting patients’ and families’ sense of dignity at end-of-life is an indispensable goal, one that palliative care professionals have pursued unceasingly in the modern era. While researchers have made several attempts to uncover the intricate meaning and constitution of dignity and dignified end-of-life care in recent years, their works are solely based upon a Western individualistic paradigm that may not be applicable in Eastern collective societies. This limitation underscores that the existing body of knowledge is missing an important articulation on the Chinese experience.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Palliativ vård syftar bland annat till att lindra lidande och symtom som smärta och ångest. För att kunna bedöma, utvärdera samt lindra symtomen behövs smärtskattningsinstument användas. Att lindra dessa symtom främjar livskvaliteten hos patienter i en palliativ fas. Genom det Svenska palliativregistret finns möjlighet att sammanställa och utvärdera information som kan främja forskning och därmed bidra till ett minskat lidande. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka förekomst av smärta och smärtlindring i livets slutskede samt se i vilken utsträckning validerade instrument används. Syftet är

Abstract:

Bandura’s (1978) self-efficacy theory provided the conceptual basis for two math-anxiety interventions: cognitive restructuring (CR) and modified progressive relaxation (MPR). These two palliative techniques were chosen since considerable evidence exists which indicates that both intrapsychic and symptom-directed methods are effective as therapeutic interventions for a wide range of stress-related problems. In addition to the treatment variable, there were two other independent variables: level of achievement in mathematics (SAT), and level of participation in mathematics (remedial, intermedia

Abstract:

This multi-sited ethnography focuses on beliefs and practices associated with death, dying, and palliative care among the Low German-Speaking (LGS) Mennonites. The qualitative data, collected through participant-observation fieldwork and interviews conducted in three LGS Mennonite communities in Mexico and Canada, show a gap between official definitions of palliative care and its practice in real life. The LGS Mennonites’ care for their dying members, in reality, is integrated into their community lives that emphasize or reinforce discipleship by promoting the practices of mutual aid, social n
