Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying01:21

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

1.2K
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

2.4K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

2.0K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

2.5K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Chromatin Structure Regulates pre-mRNA Processing

8.1K
In eukaryotic cells, nascent mRNA transcripts need to undergo many post-transcriptional modifications to reach the cell cytoplasm and translate into functional proteins. For a long time, transcription and pre-mRNA processing were considered two independent events that occur sequentially in the cell. However, it has now been well established that transcription and pre-mRNA processing are two simultaneous processes that are precisely regulated inside the cell.
The chromatin structure, especially...

Processes of Self-Presentation01:29

Processes of Self-Presentation

212
Effective self-presentation is a central component of social interaction and identity construction. It relies on the dynamic processes of defining the situation and engaging in self-disclosure. These mechanisms help individuals navigate social context expectations and manage how others perceive them, fostering mutual understanding and relationship development.Defining the SituationSocial situations are shaped by collectively understood frames—a set of widely understood rules or...

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Psychology
  • Spirituality

Background:

  • End-of-life care for cancer patients often involves unresolved family conflicts and spiritual distress.
  • Existing models for forgiveness and reconciliation (F/R) do not address the unique challenges at the end of life.
  • This study investigates F/R processes in dying cancer patients facing relational, biographical, and spiritual conflicts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the phases and dynamics of forgiveness and reconciliation (F/R) processes in patients with cancer nearing death.
  • To understand the factors that motivate F/R in this population.
  • To examine the potential impact of F/R on end-of-life experiences and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-method exploratory study involving 50 dying cancer patients in a Swiss hospital.
  • Utilized participant observation, interpretative phenomenological analysis, and descriptive statistical analysis.
  • Employed a semi-structured observation protocol based on a 5-phase model, assessed by 20 professionals.

Main Results:

  • Complex conflicts involving relational, biographical, and spiritual layers were identified.
  • Forgiveness and reconciliation (F/R) processes occurred repeatedly in 62% of patients.
  • Many patients (22) found F/R within 48 hours of death, motivated by imminent death, a third party, acceptance, and hope.

Conclusions:

  • Forgiveness and reconciliation (F/R) processes in dying cancer patients oscillate between five phases: denial, crisis, hope, decision, and finding F/R.
  • Understanding these F/R processes, alongside empathy, hope, and a neutral third party, can support patients.
  • F/R may facilitate improved patient-family relationships, peace of mind, and a peaceful death.
