“…Findings highlight the evolution of participants during the intervention and confirm the congruence between goals and participants' experience. Santarpia and colleagues (2021), using T-LAB in a qualitative study, presented the narrative effects of detailed shamanic sessions (the use of the drum, telling and interpreting visions according to the shamanic mythology) in the context of psycho-oncological treatment.…”

The aim of this qualitative research is to describe how the parents perceive the work of hospital clowns in the context of bereavement. Using the text analysis software T-LAB (Version 9.1.3) with a co-occurrence strategy we examined several bereaved parents’ narratives related to the clowning. We showed six themes from parents’ narratives: “The Funny Side of Life”, “Good Memories,” “The Clown is a ‘Big Kid’,” “They Are Part of My Family,” “Bringing Life and Creating Vital Disorder,” and “Awareness of a Clown’s Abilities.” We will interpret the themes according to a humanistic/existential framework as the theoretical base. According to parents’ experience, professional hospital clowns appear to bring a positive contribution in terms of the reconstruction of meaning in the context of bereavement.

The use of natural language processing in palliative care research: A scoping review

et al. 2022

Background: Natural language processing has been increasingly used in palliative care research over the last 5 years for its versatility and accuracy. Aim: To evaluate and characterize natural language processing use in palliative care research, including the most commonly used natural language processing software and computational methods, data sources, trends in natural language processing use over time, and palliative care topics addressed. Design: A scoping review using the framework by Arksey and O’Malley and the updated recommendations proposed by Levac et al. was conducted. Sources: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore databases were searched for palliative care studies that utilized natural language processing tools. Data on study characteristics and natural language processing instruments used were collected and relevant palliative care topics were identified. Results: 197 relevant references were identified. Of these, 82 were included after full-text review. Studies were published in 48 different journals from 2007 to 2022. The average sample size was 21,541 (median 435). Thirty-two different natural language processing software and 33 machine-learning methods were identified. Nine main sources for data processing and 15 main palliative care topics across the included studies were identified. The most frequent topic was mortality and prognosis prediction. We also identified a trend where natural language processing was frequently used in analyzing clinical serious illness conversations extracted from audio recordings. Conclusions: We found 82 papers on palliative care using natural language processing methods for a wide-range of topics and sources of data that could expand the use of this methodology. We encourage researchers to consider incorporating this cutting-edge research methodology in future studies to improve published palliative care data.

Introduction:The objective of this paper was to describe the vision of death from the perspective of families of children who experienced palliative care, and team members working in one unit, and to explore the roles of healthcare clowns in working with life and death. The major research of which this paper is part was a requirement of one healthcare clown organization, that since 2008 works as members of the palliative care unit in a public hospital in Chile.Description: Using a qualitative methodology, and an emergent and descriptive design, 26 people, including mothers and team members of one palliative care unit, participated in in-depth interviews and discussion groups separately. Data analysis was performed using grounded theory and critical discourse analysis techniques. Results:The roles played by healthcare clowns in palliative care were accompanying, mediating between team members and families, facilitating to process death, provision of humane care using socioemotional competences, promotion of social relationships, and being complementary therapy. Conclusion:The six roles of healthcare clowns identified by this research have implications for public policies and actions in palliative care. There is also a need to expand this type of work to other public health services in Chile.
