Abstract:

This thesis presents the results of a study that explores the experience of care assistants who care for residents in the final stages of life in residential aged care facilities in metropolitan Perth. Care assistants, with little formal training and no regulation, play a pivotal role in the direct care of dying residents in these facilities. Yet little was known about the palliative care role and the impact that caring for residents in the final stage of life has on this health care group. The literature relating to end of life care in residential aged care facilities revealed limited researc

The presupposition is that life and death are unavoidably connected, and that a meaningful approach to death and dying in terms of a Christian theological hermeneutics needs to start with the question “What is life?” The concept of a theological hermeneutics serves as an overall paradigm, which is implied within the interplay of life and death. The aim of a hermeneutical approach is to find me

Abstract:

Terminally ill patients and their families describe hospital care as nonsupportive to their needs during the final phase of life. Nurses generally are not comfortable with a supportive role when caring for the dying and tend to adhere to a curative role. The purpose of this descriptive, correlational study therefore was to describe the attitudes of general staff nurses working on medical-surgical units in hospitals towards the care of the dying and to ascertain the relationship between these attitudes and the education and experience of the nurses.

Fewer patients are able to die at home than would wish to do so. A literature review showed that palliative home care patients are more likely to die at home than others. However, findings may be due to case mix differences, as variables which are positively associated with home death, are also positively associated with access to palliative home care. The thesis investigated the impact of a hospice at home (HAH) service on place of death. An observational, case control study compared 121 patients referred to HAH with 206 patients not referred.

These are personal death anxiety, organizational structure of the hospital system, role expectations of professionals, teamwork, education and training for care of the dying, and conveyance and exchange of diagnostic information.

Data from 20 families was analysed and the extent to which these families constitute a clinical sample is highlighted.

Abstract:

The hospices attempted to offer a way of dying with dignity which would counter the growing lobby for euthenasia legislation by taking account of 'total pain' (mental, social, spiritual, physical). Participation on an NHS/Macmillan Continuing Care Unit indicated that the nurses were committed to giving 'total patient care', but were conscious of their inability to fulfil their principles. They explained their care of the dying in terms of a tension between 'care' and 'work'. The practical outcome of the tension on the terminal care unit is analysed as 'carework'.

Communication is an important component in care for the patients. As human beings, we are all mortal, thus, communication at the end of life is a topic that is significant for all of us. Research on communication with dying patients who suffered from incurable illness is relatively insufficient in China given the fact that palliative care originated in the West. Moreover, previous research focused more on the communication between patients and medical staff who shoulder the majority work for taking care of the patients.

Abstract:

Patients with terminal illness may benefit greatly from hospice and palliative care. Studies of patients with chronic terminal illness revealed that those who did not received palliative or hospice care experienced poor quality medical care characterized by untreated symptoms, unmet spiritual and personal care needs, increased burden for the caregiver, and low patient and family satisfaction (Meier, 2011). According to the World Health Organization (2011), palliative care is offered at the time of diagnosis alongside potentially curative treatment and can be utilized during the trajectory of
