A Concept Analysis About Temporality and Its Applicability in Nursing Care

Initiatives emphasising the timeliness of diagnosis and treatment are reflected in the ways some patients experience their care. However, these accounts were open to further contextualisation about what speed of healthcare processes meant for evaluating the quality of their care. Healthcare professionals could therefore be an important patient resource in providing reassurance and support about the timeliness of diagnosis or treatment.

“…Since life is finite, temporality as opposed to objective time or clock time, has been offered as a concept more appropriate to describing the lived experience of time (Caldas and Bertero, 2012). According to the Swedish doctor Loma Feigenberg (1980, p. 11-32) The Swedish nurse Ulla Qvarnström used Feigenbergs thanatology as a model, emphasizing that our reactions to impending death move in a field of seven different dichotomous dimensions.…”

“…Having a body is to be involved in a definite environment; however, what we are involved in varies and affects the quality of time (35,36). According to Caldas and Bertero (2012), temporality is a central component of our experience of the world, offering an understanding of temporality as lived and subjective time as opposed to clock time or objective time (3). Temporality as lived embodied time can give a meaning to our respondent's statement of time going faster after being ill.…”

The aim of this study is to describe the experience of time as it presents itself at the place being situated when living with severe incurable disease and receiving palliative care. The empirical data consist of 26 open‐ended interviews with 23 patients receiving palliative care at home, at a palliative day care, in a palliative bed unit in hospital or in a nursing home in Norway. A common meaning of a shifting space for living emerged from the analysis and was revealed through three different aspects: (i) Transition from a predictable to an unpredictable time: To live with severe incurable disease marks a transition to a changed life involving an ongoing weakened and altered body with bothersome symptoms making experience of time different and unpredictable. (ii) Transition between a safe and unsafe time: When time is unpredictable, feeling safe is revealed as essential to how time is experienced at the place being situated. (iii) To be in transition from a homely to a homeless existence: In a time of increased bodily weakness, unpredictable ailments and displacements, the sense of belonging to the place is revealed as significant to the experience of time. Not knowing where to be in a time of change is like an existential cry of distress where the foothold in existence is lost. The findings are discussed and interpreted as an embodied experience originating from the passage of time continually affecting life sometimes so fundamentally that it marks a transition to a changed space of life that is reflected in the experience of time.
