Abstract:

Patient death is recognised as an occupational hazard for many healthcare professional including mental healthcare professionals. It appears patient death does not only impact on a mental healthcare clinician's professional life but also their personal lives. This is investigated further in chapters 1 and 2. Chapter 1. This chapter reviews the available literature that has investigated the incidence and impact of a patient/client suicide, and the recovery that follows.

Abstract:

Experiencing a patient death can directly affect the well-being of health care professionals; however, this phenomenon and the effects of patients' deaths are not well understood in the transport setting. Transport nurses work in unique settings with complex patients and significant autonomy in determining the plan of care; therefore, the experiences of other health care professionals may not be applicable in this environment. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the lived experiences of transport nurses who have experienced patient death using Husserl's life-world and phenomen

Abstract:

According to Epicurus, philosophy’s sole task is to ensure the well-being of the soul. Human souls are often riddled with diseases; the most serious are the fear of the gods and the fear of death. Thus, the Epicureans offered several arguments designed to demonstrate that, for instance, “death is nothing to us,” and should therefore not be feared. Since their creation there has been much discussion, both in antiquity and by contemporary philosophers, about these arguments. In this thesis, I argue that Epicurean philosophical arguments are patient-relative; they necessarily adapt themselves so

Thirteen nurses were interviewed over an eight week period to explore their adaptive responses to neonatal death.

This study describes the meaning intensive care unit nurses attach to their care of the brain dead patient. A phenomenological methodology was used because of its intent to understand experience as it is lived. Because these patients constitute a unique class of dead patients which require intensive nursing care and because of the scarcity of information available on the subjective experience of nurses who provide this care, the study was considered to be essential to fillful a gap in our knowledge.

Abstract:

The purpose of this clinical project was to determine if nurses in an acute care setting would report a need for debriefing following a patient death. The review of current literature revealed mixed results regarding the effectiveness of debriefing as an intervention. Literature shows that emotional expression is perceived as cathartic by nurses and is viewed as a positive coping mechanism. However, randomized controlled trials of debriefing models did not demonstrate that participation in debriefing prevented distress symptoms. A survey was created to assess nurses' views regarding debriefing

Patienter med en obotlig cancer vårdas palliativt och målet med den palliativavården är att uppnå bästa möjliga livskvalitet. Upplevelser så som rädslor och ångest är vanliga problem och har en speciell innebörd för varje patient.

Ce travail, intitulé La peine et le soin : une enquête sur l’espace et le temps des malades en prison, analyse le sens de la peine sous le prisme du soin. L’enquête explore différents mondes juxtaposés : de la peine, du soin et de l’environnement personnel du détenu. À partir d’un ancrage empirique solide, constitué de nombreuses observations et d’entretiens réalisés auprès de détenus malades et des différents professionnels évoluant dans cet environnement,une anthropologie de l’espace et du temps est proposée. La démarche concerne la manière dont les détenus-patients ainsi que les professionn

Abstract:

A serious problem confronts the psychologist whose patient threatens, within the privacy of a therapy session, to inflict violent harm upon some third person. Therapists in Texas face a risk of unjust legal liability because of a lack of widely accepted, clearly and fully articulated standards. A questionnaire was submitted to Texas psychologists and Texas judges of mental illness courts. It involved a hypothetical case of a patient who threatened to kill his girlfriend. The hypothesis that no consensus exists at present among psychologists or judges appears to be supported by the data. Compar

O transplante de células- tronco hematopoéticas (TCTH) é uma modalidade terapêutica capaz de reconstituir os sistemas hematopoético e imunológico em uma variedade de doenças malígnas e não malígnas. O TCTH é um procedimento agressivo, que pode tanto recuperar a vida do paciente quanto conduzí-lo a óbito. Além das vivências e angústias dos pacientes, considera-se o estresse dos profissionais. A equipe de saúde trava uma luta incessante por esses pacientes. Não conseguir evitar ou adiar a morte, ou mesmo aliviar o sofrimento, pode trazer ao profissional do TCTH a vivência de seus limites, de sua

Abstract:

Abstract Cancer is one of the main public health problems in the world. People diagnosed with cancer may become depressed and fearful of dying. This causes them to question treatments and sometimes avoid treatment altogether. Cancer may change the person's life and the lives of others around them. The current study focused on the psychosocial impact of impending death for cancer patients in Saudi Arabia. Currently, the relationship between the death anxiety and death depression in persons with cancer in Saudi Arabia is not yet clear. Added to that, little research has been conducted with Musli
