“…La adaptación tecnológica en la educación de alumnos paliativos no se detiene en la fase de desarrollo. Es crucial realizar una evaluación continua de las soluciones implementadas para identificar áreas de mejora, por lo que los comentarios de estudiantes, familias y profesionales de la salud son invaluables para perfeccionar las herramientas y garantizar que sigan siendo relevantes y efectivas a lo largo del tiempo (Kennedy et al, 2020).…”

Aquest assaig crític aborda la bretxa digital a l'educació d'alumnes pal·liatius i aquells amb malalties greus, explorant com el tancament d'aquesta bretxa pot tenir un impacte transformador en la igualtat d'oportunitats a l'educació. S'analitza la bretxa digital que afecta aquest grup d'alumnes en edat escolar i universitària i es posa de manifest la manca de recerca i aplicació de tecnologies emergents, com ara la intel·ligència artificial i la robòtica social, en la seva educació. Tot i una recerca exhaustiva i una scoping review en bases de dades acadèmiques, no es van trobar resultats, cosa que reforça la manca de recerca en aquest camp. L'assaig s'estructura en quatre temes clau: la realitat ignorada de la bretxa digital, el ignorat potencial de les tecnologies emergents, la necessitat de recerca i desenvolupament específics i l'impacte potencial en la igualtat d'oportunitats. Per finalitzar se subratlla la importància d'abordar la inclusió digital a l'educació d'alumnes pal·liatius i ressalta la rellevància de la investigació en aquest camp.

“…Although some pediatric hospitals offer educational programs, there is still a risk that being 'out of sight and out of mind' can disrupt friendships and cause anxiety about returning to school. Therefore, schools should provide training and tools for teachers to train them in early bereavement support and accompaniment strategies, preparing for the short and long-term needs of students and teachers (Kennedy et al, 2020).…”

“…The grieving process in children is influenced by various factors, including their stage of development, temperament, social environment, and the attitude of the adults around them (De Hoyos, 2015). Fostering a positive view on death necessitates a synergistic partnership between palliative care and health promotion (Kennedy et al, 2020). However, palliative care services have often neglected the social aspects of death and bereavement (Paul et al, 2019).…”

“…The need to rethink educational practices is evident (Cortina et al, 2009;A'Bear, 2014). Kennedy et al (2020) argue that the development of a critical reflection model that includes reflective practices and transformative learning is of great relevance to death education. As previously mentioned, Ramos et al (2018) argue for the importance of training in death and bereavement issues for educational teachers, so that they learn to act in a justified and systematized way.…”

This scoping review aimed to examine support strategies teachers can use to address illness, grief, and death in the classroom. A total of 24 scientific articles were analyzed from various databases: Medline (PubMed), SCOPUS, Web of Science, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Scielo, Dialnet Plus, ScienceDirect Elsevier, OECD Library, and PsycInfo. These articles were subjected to a rigorous quality analysis process. Through a narrative thematic analysis, six categories emerged: (1) the transformative school as an instrument of change, (2) normalizing illness, bereavement, and death, (3) students with limiting illnesses and their classmates, (4) difficulties and needs, (5) rethinking classroom actions and intervention proposals, and (6) benefits of technology and training needs. The findings of the review encompass a range of proposals and strategies for providing support in the classroom, with a particular emphasis on the use of new technologies, artificial intelligence, and social robotics. These tools are seen as effective means to facilitate remote presence, remote participation, and academic progress for students who are unable to physically attend school. The review also provides practical recommendations to empower teachers with effective strategies for supporting students dealing with illness and bereavement.

“…1 A growing movement insists that serious illness, death, dying, and loss need to be recognized and reframed as the social experiences they essentially are. 2,3 This includes moving beyond the dominant medical-individualistic approach that focuses on patients or clients defined in terms of health problems or biopsychosocial risk toward a salutogenic approach around serious illness, death, dying, and loss: an approach that aims to normalize and promote healthy attitudes toward these experiences through awareness-raising, 4 increasing death literacy, 5,6 and developing social capital of entire communities. 7,8 This approach is called a “Compassionate Communities” model.…”

Researching Compassionate Communities: Identifying theoretical frameworks to evaluate the complex processes behind public health palliative care initiatives

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Compassionate Communities have been put forward as a new model for community-based palliative care to positively impact the health and wellbeing of those experiencing challenges of serious illness, death, dying, and loss. Despite the growing international movement to develop these public health initiatives to end-of-life care, only a handful of initiatives have undergone some form of evaluation. Aim: To provide guidance on designing evaluation research by identifying theoretical frameworks to understand the development, implementation, and underlying mechanisms of Compassionate Communities. Methods: To identify suitable theoretical frameworks for the study of Compassionate Communities, we applied two steps. The first step examined the characteristics of Compassionate Communities and translated them into assessment criteria for the selection of theoretical frameworks. The second step consisted of applying the identified assessment criteria to a list of widely used and highly cited theoretical frameworks. Results: Three well-established theoretical frameworks were identified as being most suitable to study the development, implementation, and underlying mechanisms of Compassionate Communities: The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), the integrated-Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services framework (i-PARIHS), and the Extended Normalization Process Theory (ENPT). Conclusions: The article supports and encourages the use of theoretical frameworks to evaluate the complex processes behind public health palliative care initiatives. The complementary use of two determinant frameworks and an implementation theory provides theoretical grounding to gain rich insights into the emergent and shifting interplays between agency, social processes, and contextual factors that shape the development and implementation of Compassionate Communities.
