Abstract:

The most frequent causes of death in the United States and globally are chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, lung diseases, and diabetes. Behavioral factors, particularly tobacco use, diet and activity patterns, alcohol consumption, sexual behavior, and avoidable injuries are among the most prominent contributors to mortality. Projections of the global burden of disease for the next two decades include increases in noncommunicable diseases, high rates of tobacco-related deaths, and a dramatic rise in deaths from HIV/AIDS. Worldwide, the major causes of death by 2030 are expected

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore nursing students' experiences with patient deaths during clinical practice. Methods: The participants were ten nursing students who had experienced patient deaths during clinical nursing practice at a university hospital in Korea. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted, and the data were analyzed using the content analysis method suggested by Graneheim and Lundman (2004). Results: The participants' experience was structured into six categories: experiencing various emotions in facing patient deaths, viewing oneself as a nursing student a

Abstract:

This article explores medical students' experiences and coping strategies when confronting patient loss in their 3rd and 4th years of their programs. Much of the literature on the impact of patient losses focuses on physicians. This article joins a handful of works aimed at how medical students experience and cope with patient loss. In-depth interviews with 20 medical students provided rich descriptions of their varying experiences coping with death. Consistent with previous work, students experience substantial emotional stress coping with patient deaths, though some were more difficult to be

A total of 73,707 primary renal transplants reported to the USRDS between 1988 and 1997 were examined to investigate the cause-specific risk for patient death associated with anti-lymphocyte antibody induction therapy (ABI). Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the relative risk of the use of ABI and patient death. All Cox models were corrected for potential confounding variables, such as age, gender, race, HLA mismatch, panel reactive antibody, delayed graft function, cold ischemia time, time since start of dialysis, etiology of end-stage renal disease, cytomegalovir

Abstract Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common severe hereditary blood disorder in the United States. A single nucleotide mutation leads to a modified β-chain of hemoglobin (β6Glu-Val). The pathology of SCD includes debilitating pain crises, progressive organ damage, and finally premature death. A significant portion of premature death in adults with SCD is attributable to cardiopulmonary disease with a disproportionate amount of sudden death. Sudden death has been associated with as much as 23.4% of mortality in adults with SCD (Darbari et al. Am J Haematology, 2006). In thi

ABSTRACT Background: When a patient dies, nurses are often quickly assigned a new patient, leading to frustration due to the lack of time to complete postmortem care, care for the deceased patient's family members, or even take a short break. The trauma that nurses experience when a patient dies is underrecognized and contributes to moral distress, burnout, and thoughts of leaving the profession. To address this problem, we developed and implemented a Post-Death Care Team Protocol as a systematic approach to support nurses in the wake of a patient's death and to better support nurses' emotiona

Abstract:

Abstract Patient and family requests for hastened death, upsetting as they are to the treating team, are usually a way for patients and their families to express their need for an increase in the intensity of communication, improved symptom control, or acknowledgment of an existential or spiritual crisis. Rarely do they represent the need for patients to control the time, place, and manner of their death. Using a hypothetical case study, this paper reviews the unspoken concerns underlying these requests; characteristics of patients who request a hastened death, and when and why they make the r

Abstract:

The most frequent causes of death in the United States and globally are chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, lung diseases, and diabetes. Behavioral factors, particularly tobacco use, diet and activity patterns, alcohol consumption, sexual behavior, and avoidable injuries are among the most prominent contributors to mortality. Projections of the global burden of disease for the next two decades include increases in noncommunicable diseases, high rates of tobacco-related deaths, and a dramatic rise in deaths from HIV/AIDS. Worldwide, the major causes of death by 2030 are expected

Abstract:

Background: The impact of palliative home care programs on in-patient admissions and deaths has not been appropriately established. Aim: The main objectives of this study have been to evaluate the frequency of in-patient hospital deaths and the use of hospital resources among cancer patients in two areas of the Madrid Region, as well as to assess differences between one area with and one without a palliative home care team (PHCT) in those variables. Design and setting: We conducted a population-based study comparing two adjacent metropolitan areas of approximately 200,000 inhabitants each in t

ObjectivesTo explore the barriers and facilitators to patients achieving death at home.MethodsIn-depth, semistructured interviews with end-of-life care experts were conducted to develop an insight into the barriers and facilitators to achieving death at home. Thirty-three interviews were conducted compromising of a mixture of face-to-face and tele interviews. Experts included healthcare professionals working in the community, hospital and policy/academic settings. Thematic analysis was undertaken on interview transcripts.ResultsThree overarching themes, further divided into a total of 12 subth

Abstract:

Veterinarians, unlike human physicians, could potentially care for the patient for several years, from conception to end-of-life care. Because of their close relationship with the animal, healthcare providers (for example, veterinarians and staff) are more likely to be affected by bad events and end-of-life care. The purpose of this study was to assess the emotional impact of patients’ deaths on Brazilian veterinarians; 549 Brazilian veterinarians (78.3% females) completed a 20-item online questionnaire. Females were more emotionally affected than males by having to talk to the owner about the

Abstract:

ABSTRACTObjectives:End-of-life communication is crucial because most U.S. hospitals implement cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the absence of do-not-resuscitate directives (DNRs). Despite this, there is little DNR utilization data to guide the design of communication-training programs. The objective of this study was to determine DNR utilization patterns and whether their use is increasing.Methods:A retrospective database analysis (2000–2005) of DNR data for 206,437 patients, the entire patient population at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), was performed.Results:The hospit
