1REHPA-Danish Knowledge Centre for Rehabilitation and Palliative Care, University of Southern Denmark, Odense University Hospital, Aalborg, Denmark.
Danish hospice practice interprets hospice philosophy to provide meaning and support an authentic death. This study explores how this philosophy is integrated into daily operations within contemporary hospices.
Area of Science:
- Palliative Care
- Sociology of Health and Illness
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Sparse literature exists on Danish hospice practices.
- International literature debates hospice philosophy's normative ideals and medical model threats.
- Hospice philosophy's role in providing meaning for everyday practice is explored.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the integration of hospice philosophy within contemporary Danish hospice practice.
- To understand how hospice philosophy provides meaning in everyday professional practice.
- To explore the challenges and complexities of maintaining hospice philosophy in institutional settings.
Main Methods:
- An ethnographic study was conducted.
- Participant observation was utilized.
- 49 interviews were conducted with hospice professionals, patients, and families across three Danish hospices.
Main Results:
- Hospice philosophy influences professional practice in Danish hospices.
- Contemporary Danish hospices work interpretively with hospice philosophy.
- Hospice practice offers a "lived" philosophy and facilitates an authentic death.
Conclusions:
- Hospice practice actively incorporates and interprets hospice philosophy.
- Maintaining hospice philosophy in practice is complex.
