A grounded theory study of dream fulfilment in children and young people with life-threatening and long-term conditions and their families

Galinsky, Jayne January 2015 (has links)
Background: This thesis examines the impact of dream or wish fulfilment on seriously ill children and their families. Dream or wish fulfilment is operationalised as the actualisation of a seriously ill child’s wish by a charity that provides desired experiences. Anecdotal reports suggest that the experience of having a dream or a wish fulfilled can provide seriously ill children and their families with a sense of hope and time away from illness. However, little empirical research has been conducted in this area. This thesis reports the impact of dream fulfilment on the psychosocial well-being of ill children and their families. The research questions are: what is the experience of having a dream fulfilled for the child? What is the impact of dream fulfilment on the family? Methods: A constructivist grounded theory methodology was adopted, using theoretical sampling to recruit families from across the UK. Twenty-one families were interviewed, including 15 dream recipients, 8 siblings, and 24 parents. Analysis followed the grounded theory methodology of simultaneous data collection and development of theory, resulting in analytic interpretations of participants’ worlds. Results and Conclusions: This thesis reports for the first time a theory and accompanying theoretical model, that explain the impact of dream fulfilment on families’ lives. The generated theory suggests that dream fulfilment was conceptualised as an alternative milestone in seriously ill children and their families’ lives. Additionally, the dream experience shifted perceptions of illness by providing instances and experiences where illness did not underscore family life. Findings additionally suggest that the dream fulfilment process provided families with ill children, who often felt excluded and stigmatised from services, with a period of much needed support. Findings also highlight the unintended negative consequences of dream fulfilment. Implications for Dreams Come True, and other dream and wish fulfilment organisations are discussed.

AUTONOMIA DO PACIENTE TERMINAL: PERCEPÇÃO DA ENFERMAGEM DE UMA UNIDADE DE INTERNAÇÃO HEMATO ONCOLÓGICA / TERMINAL PATIENT AUTONOMY: PERCEPTION OF A NURSING UNIT HOSPITAL BLOOD ONCOLOGIC

Cassol, Paulo Barrozo 13 March 2014 (has links)
This study aimed to understand the perception of the nursing staff regarding patient autonomy terminally ill. This is a survey of qualitative, descriptive and exploratory approach was made with twenty three professional nursing team (auxiliary nursing, nursing technicians and nurses Medical Clinic I), University Hospital, Federal University of Santa Maria. For the production of the semi driven data, recorded between September 2013 and October was used. The ethical dimension N. 466/2012 was respected according to the National Council of Health. After collection, the interviews were transcribed and analyzed by content analysis. Emerged from the interviews, four categories: transience of autonomy to heteronomy, communication of diagnosis, early policy of the will: uncertainties in its implementation; life support: the suffering of the inseparability patient care practices. We conclude that the terminal patient hospitalized at the Medical Clinic I have little autonomy over themselves, being owned by the medical decision-making power and especially the family. It is hoped that this research generates an improvement on the autonomy of the terminally ill patient, in order to generate ideas and actions in teaching and nursing. / Este estudo teve como objetivo conhecer a percepção da equipe de enfermagem em relação à autonomia do paciente em estado terminal. Trata-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória que foi realizada com vinte e três profissionais da equipe de enfermagem (auxilares de enfermagem, técnicos de enfermagem e enfemeiros na Clínica Médica I) do Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Para a produção dos dados foi utilizada a entrevista semi dirigida, gravada no período de setembro e outubro de 2013. A dimensão ética foi respeitada conforme a Resolução N.466/2012 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde. Após a coleta, as entrevistas foram transcritas e analisadas pela análise de conteúdo. Emergiram das entrevistas quatro categorias: transitoriedade da autonomia para a heteronomia; comunicação do diagnóstico; diretiva antecipada de vontade: às incertezas na sua implementação; suporte vital: do sofrimento do paciente a indissociabilidade nas práticas do cuidado. Conclui-se que o paciente terminal internado na Clinica Médica I possui pouca autonomia sobre si, sendo o poder decisório pertencente ao médico e, principalmente, à familia. Espera-se que esta investigação gere um melhoramento sobre a autonomia do paciente em estado terminal, de forma a gerar reflexões e ações na docência e assistência de enfermagem.

Questões éticas em pacientes terminais segundo o personalismo ontológico de Elio Sgreccia

Scariot, Franco 13 April 2016 (has links)
Dentre as diversas questões éticas vivenciadas por pacientes terminais destacam-se a eutanásia e a distanásia, ambas consideradas imorais pelo personalismo ontológico proposto por Elio Sgreccia. O objetivo desta dissertação é verificar se o pensamento de Sgreccia pode ser justificado racionalmente de forma objetiva e se possui critérios de necessidade e universalidade. O método utilizado foi a análise dos próprios textos do autor e de suas fontes, tendo como técnica de abordagem a revisão histórica da ética médica desde o tempo de Hipócrates e a comparação do personalismo ontológico com as principais éticas dando ênfase aos conceitos de vida, pessoa, saúde, doença e corpo humano. Apresenta-se o personalismo ontologicamente fundamentado, com os princípios de defesa da vida, liberdade-responsabilidade, totalidade e subsidiariedade, comparando-o ao principialismo, com seus princípios de autonomia, beneficência, não maleficência e justiça. Descreve-se a proposta de Sgreccia para a solução de dilemas com o uso dos princípios secundários do mal menor e do duplo efeito, bem como a necessidade de hierarquização dos princípios primários. Destaca-se a hierarquia do benefício sobre a autonomia, demonstrando o valor intrínseco e inalienável da vida, bem como a subordinação da liberdade a esse valor. Conclui-se que, segundo o autor, os principais dilemas éticos do fim da vida em pacientes terminais são decorrentes de uma não uniformidade de termos, sendo a confusão entre eutanásia passiva e distanásia a principal. O esclarecimento ocorre com a aplicação dos conceitos iniciais que o autor busca na fonte aristotélico-tomista, bem como uma compreensão de autonomia semelhante à proposta por Kant e da morte não mais como um evento, mas como um processo que se inicia com a doença terminal. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2016-06-27T16:38:10Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Franco Scariot.pdf: 1853889 bytes, checksum: a7f6e9903b14737aeb71a0224798ea1a (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2016-06-27T16:38:10Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Franco Scariot.pdf: 1853889 bytes, checksum: a7f6e9903b14737aeb71a0224798ea1a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-06-27 / Among the many ethical issues experienced by terminal patients, both euthanasia and dysthanasia stand out as being considered immoral by the ontological personalism proposed by Elio Sgreccia. The aim of this paper is to verify if Sgreccia’s theory can be rationally justified in an objective way and if it has necessity and universality criteria. The method used was the analysis of the author's own texts and sources, taking the historical review of medical ethics since Hippocrates as an approach technique, as well as comparing the ontological personalism with the main ethical theories, emphasizing the concepts of life, person, health, disease and the human body. The study presents the ontologically based personalism with the principles of protection of life, freedom-responsibility, totality and subsidiarity, in a comparison with the principlism and its principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice. Sgreccia’s theory is reported as a solution to dilemmas when using its secondary principles of less harm and double effect, and also presents the need to create a hierarchy system for its primary principles. The hierarchy of benefit stands out from autonomy, thus demonstrating the intrinsic and inalienable value of life, as well as the subordination of freedom to that value. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that, according to the author, the main ethical dilemmas concerning the end of life in terminal patients are due to the lack of standard expressions, especially between passive euthanasia and dysthanasia. The elucidation is given when applying the initial concepts which the author collects in the Aristotelian-Thomistic source, as well as in an understanding of autonomy similar to that proposed by Kant, and of death not as an event but as a process which starts with terminal illness.
