    Delayed Hospice Referrals In Qualitative Research

    Practitioners have identified common roadblocks that arise during end of life care conversations and why these conversations are sometimes frequently avoided. Unfortunately, even with the growing knowledge of barriers to end of life care, the literature reveals that very few physician practices or health care organizations have incorporated additional end of life care training or provided appropriate educational tools to help reduce barriers to end of life care. Future quantitative research is needed to determine the effectiveness of incorporating newly designed end of life care tools into the electronic record to determine if this may help improve timely hospice and palliative care…

    The Process Of Bereavement: The Five Stages Of Grief

    Bereavement relates to the deprivation of someone by death. For an individual, the death of a love one can be considered one of the greatest losses one may have. Nonetheless, an individual may also have feelings of bereavement when having other losses, such as the loss of health, the end of an important relationship, or health loss by someone close to the individual. Another healthy response to loss is grief. All individuals have different feelings of grief, but there are some particular stages to the process of mourning experienced by the individual.…

    Nursing 304 Assignment

    He had his wishes respected, he and his family had support and room to process death, and he went with well-managed symptoms that gave the appearance that he was sleeping when he passed. Unfortunately, I have seen both with my friends and family, as well as patients and families, being deprived of the hospice palliative care services that my grandfather was provided. Although I understand that as a professional I must be mindful of how my opinion might affect a patient’s care, I feel that patients with either life-threatening or life-limiting should be given the opportunity to choose a hospice-palliative care approach. In addition, I hope that I will be able to explore further my knowledge and understanding of hospice palliative care to become a better advocate for patients and continue to improve my nursing practice. Lastly, I believe that my grandfather’s passing marked the start of my life’s journey with death and is one that I will continue to learn and grown on until it is my day to meet him for…

    They show families being more satisfied when they have effective ongoing, realistic communications with healthcare providers. There was also a recorded negative response by a family in an instance where there was a lack of communication between facilities during the transition of care. Families and patients were also shown to be more comfortable when the patient’s wishes were clearly stated on paper such as in an advance directive. When asked for suggestions on improving end of life care, family members recommended that similar families talk to their dying loved ones about the use of Advanced Directives, and how much they could have helped with their process. They also recommend having more open channels of communication between families and health care providers throughout the…

    Grief And Bereavement

    Statement of the Problem: Military members and Veterans have unique end-of-life issues which impact and often complicate grief and bereavement. It is imperative that nursing faculty train and develop nursing students to meet the needs facing our nation as current conflicts draw down, our nation’s Heroes return to their hometown, and ultimately face end-of-life issues. The specific war (Vietnam, WWII, Korea, Gulf War, OEF/OIF) and perceived acknowledgement by the healthcare professional can impact the Veteran and/or caregiver’s sense of pride and shame; impacting their sense of grief/ bereavement. The grief experience may be impacted if death is experienced as a result of injury or loss associated with Veteran military service. Health care providers…

    End Of Life Clinical Analysis

    During the End of Life meeting I learned many things that I did not even think about when dealing with a patient that is dying or even a patient that has even suffered a loss by being hospitalized. As a student in nursing school we tend to not think about everything going on with the patient because we are so wrapped up in following a precise plan, such as at this time I will conduct an assessment on the patient, then I will pass out medications, do charting by this time, and so on. When we do this we do not focus a lot on the patient’s and family’s emotions or how they are doing mentally with this hospitalization. I believe the most important thing I learned in the class is asking the patient and family members what they need or what can I do for you.…
