  • how should we talk about palliative care death and dying a Qualitative study exploring perspectives from caregivers of people with advanced cancer
    Palliative Medicine, 2018
    Co-Authors: Anna Collins, Sueanne Mclachlan, Jennifer Philip
    Abstract:

  • the acute hospital setting as a place of death and final care a Qualitative study on perspectives of family physicians nurses and family carers
    Health & Place, 2014
    Co-Authors: Thijs Reyniers, Dirk Houttekier, Joachim Cohen, Roeline H W Pasman, Luc Deliens
    Abstract:

    Abstract While the focus of end-of-life care research and policy has predominantly been on ‘death in a homelike environment’, little is known about perceptions of the acute hospital setting as a place of final care or death. Using a Qualitative Design and constant comparative analysis, the perspectives of family physicians, nurses and family carers were explored. Participants generally perceived the acute hospital setting to be inadequate for terminally ill patients, although they indicated that in some circumstances it might be a ‘safe haven’. This implies that a higher quality of end-of-life care provision in the acute hospital setting needs to be ensured, preferably by improving communication skills. At the same time alternatives to the acute hospital setting need to be developed or expanded.

  • Safety for older adults using telecare: Perceptions of homecare professionals
    'Wiley', 2019
    Co-Authors: Johannessen, Torunn Beate, Storm Marianne, Holm, Anne Lise
    Abstract:

    Aim: The aim of this study was to explore homecare professionals' perceptions of safety related to the use of telecare by older adults. Design: An exploratory Qualitative Design was employed. Methods: Two focus group interviews with ten female homecare professionals (nine Registered Nurses and one occupational therapist) were carried out between June– December 2017. The participants were recruited from six community homecare services in two Norwegian municipalities. Data were analysed using Qualitative content analysis. Results: The participants perceived that the use of telecare protects older adults against injury and insecurity by preventing harm and giving them a feeling of safety. However, they also stated that the use of telecare involves challenges that could lead to harm to older adults due to technological limitations and difficulties managing and understanding the technology. Although telecare can enhance safety, it is necessary to develop reliable technology and adapt it to the user's abilities, skills and resources.publishedVersio
