“…It questions the plethora of guidelines that become tools of management and restrict practitioners' judgement in clinical encounters. While person-centred care and compassionate care are proposed as correctives, they continue to struggle in the face of this dominant ideology, becoming trivialized as they are introduced as regulatory requirements rather than the grounds for radical reform (Rumbold 2012). Dismantling requirements for evidence is certainly no solution, but EBP should be reviewed in the light of its unintended consequences.…”

A social theory framework suggests that aesthetic reflexivity can link the rational and affective aspects of practice in both areas. Intentional communities of practice that incorporate both arts and health practitioners can develop evidence that will take into account both health system goals of recovery from illness and social transformational goals of building healthy communities.

“…Grounded theory holds the potential to give voice to bereaved school community members, revealing their assumptions and values, listening to how bereavement is experienced in school social networks and identifying strategies for how compassion can be made more visible. Charmaz's (2008) thoughts concerning social justice resonate with Rumbold's (2012) work relating compassion to justice. By restoring compassion to the health care system, Rumbold (2012: 112) states, we 'would see caregivers listening, recognizing, and responding to other's experiences, particularly when these involve fear, anxiety, and suffering'.…”

Objective: This article offers a framework to guide schools in developing a compassionate culture. Using a social constructionist/critical perspective, five spheres of work are identified to help schools achieve this goal. Framing death, dying and bereavement from a health promoting perspective, they involve challenging current cultural perceptions, creating a culture of support, creating a grief-informed culture, establishing a culture of reflection and reflexivity, and developing a whole school plan. Setting: Eight rural primary school communities in central Victoria, Australia. Method: Constructivist grounded theory with interviews and analysis occurring concurrently, allowing categories to develop alongside new questions to explore participants’ thinking and priorities. Results: Participants’ insights, knowledge and priorities fostered understanding and led to the five strategies for change that underpin this framework. Conclusion: Study participants’ desire for a societal, cultural shift in how to understand death, dying and bereavement issues in school communities serves as an important foundation for change.

“…Compassion is a sense of awareness of others' needs and paying close attention to those needs when caring for them (Sawbridge & Hewison, 2015). Compassionate care is a foundational piece of PC and is described as not just sympathy, but related to justice (Rumbold, 2012). The compassionate person recognizes another's loss and considers the other's entitlement to that loss before creating a response within the care provided.…”

Examining the Relationships Between Ethnicity, Palliative Care and Readmissions in the Heart Failure Population

Specific Aim: The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the relationships between ethnicity, palliative care consultation and readmissions in the heart failure population at a community hospital that serves a large diverse population. Background: Hospitals struggle with preventing readmissions. There are many interventions that can be implemented to help prevent readmissions, and Palliative Care (PC) is one of those interventions. PC has many benefits including symptom management, improved communication through the healthcare continuum, understanding of illness and treatment options, and can be provided in conjunction with curative treatments. Heart failure is one of the most common readmission diagnoses. It is estimated that over 8 million people will be diagnosed with heart failure by 2030. Improving readmission rates among the heart failure population is a priority for all hospitals and palliative care may help improve readmission rates. Scant existing research suggests that readmissions and use of PC varies among different ethnic groups. Methods: Using a retrospective correlational design, patient demographic information, diagnosis and readmission data was gathered from the hospital's electronic health record (EHR) for all patients admitted with a primary or secondary diagnosis of heart failure, between January 2016 and June 2016, and analyzed for relationships between the receipt of PC, ethnicity and all cause readmission within the time frame examined. Results: The researcher analyzed 330 for relationships between receipt of a PC consultation, ethnicity, and readmissions. No statistically significant relationships were found between the primary variables of ethnicity, PC consult, and readmissions, however the relationship between age and readmission was statistically significant. Conclusion: This dissertation increases knowledge related to the background; use and definition of PC; relationships between PC, ethnicity, and readmissions; and adds to the available published literature. The lack of strength of associations suggests the need for future research to identify additional variables and their possible relationships between PC and readmissions, ethnicity and readmissions, and PC and ethnicity in the HF population. The significance of age and readmissions should be further analyzed. This page is left intentionally blank.
