Patients', relatives' and nurses' experiences of palliative care on an advanced care ward in a nursing home setting in Norway

“…From our results, we discerned that such care was difficult to realize. We furthermore note that high‐quality care cannot be provided without more healthcare professionals and palliative care competence, which is in line with other previous study findings (Bergerød et al, 2018; Berntsen et al, 2019; Fjørtoft et al, 2020; Fosse et al, 2014; Karlsson et al, 2010; Lida et al, 2021; Martinsen, 2021; Meld.

“…Most of the included patients had experience of in‐hospital palliative care wards and many hoped to return. Martinsen (2021) argues that there are two forms of hope, hoping for something and being hopeful . The patients in this study demonstrated both kinds of hope.…”

Their hope of (re)admission to an in‐hospital palliative care ward was about gaining “strength to bear the pain, the suffering, but also possibilities […] to be able to share sorrow and longing, hope and hopelessness, as well as joy and gratitude” (Martinsen, 2021, p. 176; authors' own translation).…”

Rather, what is essential to morality according to care ethics (metaphysically/ontologically) is that persons are motivated and morally addressed by the vulnerability of other persons.…”

“…It is also essential for many care ethicists that one is motivated in the right way; that is, how one cares is significant. 3,12 According to an ethics of care, normative rightness is not merely associated with the ability of moral justification, but also has to include qualified perceptions and being motivated for the right reasons and with the right intentions. Caring with the right intention and attitude, and respecting persons for who they are, not merely because they are representatives of a particular role (e.g.…”
