Senior outlook on death and dying: A comparative study of older volunteers serving older clients versus older volunteers serving younger clients
1998Co-Authors: Charles O. UdstuenAbstract:This thesis examines the attitudes toward death and dying held by volunteers in the Senior Companion Program as compared with those in the Foster Grandparent Program. These Programs represent two distinct environments, since volunteers in the former Program Interact only with other senior citizens while those in the latter Program Interact with children. In recent years volunteerism has been studied extensively relative to the positive effects that volunteer activities have on those performing them. However, there is a lack of research on the effects of the particular surroundings in which the volunteers operate. The comparison of two groups of volunteers who are approaching the final years, with one group serving clients who are even nearer the end of their lives, and the other group serving clients who are at the beginning of their lives, provides a singular opportunity to investigate attitudes relative to death and dying; in short: do volunteers who serve the elderly clients with physical ailments and who, in some cases, even watch their clients wither away toward death view death differently than those volunteers who Interact with young and healthy children?

Protect the patient from whom? When patients contest governmentality and seek more expert guidance
Social Theory & Health, 2013Co-Authors: Kathrine Hoffmann Pii, Kaspar VilladsenAbstract:This article presents findings from an empirical study among patients and professionals involved in a preventive health Program at a Danish hospital. It shows how patients enrolled in the Program Interact with health professionals in ways that challenge assumptions common to governmentality studies of prevention and health promotion. This literature has successfully explored how contemporary health promotion transgresses the public/private boundary by shaping the values of collectivities and individuals to fit better with public health objectives. By exploring the complex co-existence and intertwinements of discipline and biopolitics in preventive practices, this study eschews an interpretation that views the powers of the professional health system as invasive and one-directional. Perhaps surprisingly, the study demonstrates how patients in various ways defy a ‘patient-centered’ and empowering approach and demand to be treated medically and disciplined in a more traditional sense. The blurring of the public/private boundary, then, cannot be straightforwardly described as a result of a professional health system that, more or less subtly, reaches into the private lives of patients. A more complex picture emerges, as patients’ attitude reflect both traditional medicine and rationalities foreign to the health system.
