“…Smerte og lidelse ikke identisk, men smerten kan betyde at patienten mister en større eller mindre grad af såvel fysisk som psykisk og social indflydelse, fordi de ikke magter at saette sig ud over smerten (14). Adskellige undersøgelser viser således også, at patienternes psykiske symptomer ofte letter i tråd med symptomlindringen (31)(32)(33)(34). Men de fysiske symptomers betydning for patienternes oplevede lidelse bliver sjaeldent berørt i de eksisterende teorier, og når det sker behandles sygdomslidelsen kun perifert.…”

“…I 1997 skriver Rodgers og Cowles: «Suffering most ofen is dicussed indirectly as it is associated with pain; only rarely is suffering confronted directly. The result has been not only a lack of research to assist nurses in recognising and dealing with suffering, but also a lack of an adequate conceptual foundation for exploration of suffering as a human experience (29)(30)(31). Lidelse associeres også med andre begreber så som angst, frygt, stress, distress og depression, hvilket er begreber der ofte stempler en patients situation fremfor at beskrive den (17)(18)(19)(20).…”

The article is based on a literature review on the concepts suffering and illness put into perspective of patients with incurable cancer. The article is divided into four parts: Illness defined in relation to disease, ideas about illness and suffering based on deductive theories, theories about patients lived experience of illness and suffering, and nurses experience of patients´ suffering. The conclusion is that the nature of suffering experiences have not yet been clearly described according to individual groups of patients and that more research concerning suffering needs to be initiated by nurses.

“…The modem hospice movement began in Great Britain in 1967 (1,2) as a way to provide palliation or "relief without intent of cure" (3, p.1283), and to reduce both physical and non-physical distress and pain among people living with a life-threatening illness. The goal is to help such people and their families achieve optimal quality of life (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Often these services are provided by interdisciplinary teams that include volunteers, social workers, clergy, allied therapists, as well as nurses and doctors (11)(12)(13).…”

Assessing the Need for and Potential Role of a Day Hospice: A Qualitative Study

et al. 2000

We conducted a qualitative case study as part of a needs assessment for a day hospice in a small Ontario city. Data were gathered from semi-structured interviews with 28 stakeholders: nine health care administrators, 11 health care providers, and eight lay people (terminally ill adults and informal caregivers). Respondents described support, counselling, social activities, and respite as key day hospice services. They also described several barriers to accessing services, including location, transportation, admission criteria, referrals, and fees. For most respondents, the ideal staff mix includes both volunteers and paid professionals in either a free-standing organization or institutionally linked hospice. Although the vast majority of participants were reluctant to impose admission criteria or other limitations on hospice clientele, they expressed the need to ensure equitable access to this scarce resource. Opinions varied greatly across stakeholder groups, highlighting the need to collect information from all relevant stakeholder groups when planning hospices.

“…Whatever our religious beliefs, we share a general notion of the special value of human life. We need to accept that death is a part of every life, it may come as a relief, but it is not an option for doctors as a means of achieving relief (George & Jennings, 1993).…”

Appropriate palliative care: when does it begin?

The transition between a curative and a palliative approach to the care of a patient with cancer may be filled with uncertainty for patients, their families and health care professionals. A conventional model of treating the patient with cancer through curative, palliative and terminal phases is examined. The boundaries between the phases of care are blurred. A model of care based on respect for patient autonomy ensures that the timing of the switch from curative to palliative care is appropriate.
