Theory inspired practice for end-of-life cancer care: An exploration of the McGill Model of Nursing

Abstract: Nursing theories provide inspiration for practice by describing how to meet needs, enhance wellness, and respond to clients as whole persons. This paper discusses the McGill Model of Nursing with reference to how its ideas can support nursing practice for patients with cancer during the end-of-life phase. We suggest this model provides for a relational approach that is congruent with the philosophy of palliative care. The goal of this paper is to stimulate reflection amongst oncology nurses and nursing leaders… Show more

“…Especially, non-Western authors argue that complementary reflection on alternative perspectives is required, such as family-determination (vs. self-determination) and harmonious dependence (vs. independence) [77]. Those contexts deserve further attention in which the family is considered to be the decision-making unit [23,78]. This approach will have consequences for clinical practices, such as truth-telling, informed consent, and advancecare planning.…”

“…L'éthique relationnelle en soins infirmiers est une perspective qui nous amène à considérer la qualité des relations humaines comme point central de la recherche infirmière, en reconnaissant que l'engagement entre l'infirmière et le patient est un élément fondamental de ce que signifient offrir et vivre des soins infirmiers de qualité en fin de vie (Davies et Oberle, 1990;Mok et Chiu, 2004;Wright et al, 2009). L'engagement dans ce contexte signifie que les infirmières « découvrent l'engagement moral du lien et y réagissent » (Bergum, 2013, p. 135-136, traduction), ce qui dans les soins de fin de vie aux patients atteints de cancer implique un engagement à être présent pour le patient et sa famille (Barnard et al, 2006;Wright et Pugnaire Gros, 2012). Comme l'a observé Cramer (2002) : « Parfois le simple fait "d'être là" est ce qui importe le plus.…”

“…Or, même si cette autorité à fournir une mort assistée se limite aux infi rmières praticiennes, d'autres infi rmières jouent un rôle important auprès de patients envisageant la mort assistée et la recevant dans leurs soins de fi n de vie. Off rir des soins de fi n de vie est un aspect universel de la pratique infi rmière (Jacono et al, 2009), y compris en oncologie (Wright et Pugnaire-Gros, 2012). Les infi rmières tissent au quotidien des liens uniques avec les patients et leur famille, et de ce contexte émergent des idées importantes pour alimenter une prise de décision éthique (Bergum, 2013;Doane et Varcoe, 2007;Nortvedt, 2001;Wright et Brajtman, 2011).…”

“…Engagement in this context means that nurses "discover and respond to the moral commitment of the relationship" (Bergum, 2013, pp. 135-136), which in end-of-life cancer care includes a commitment to being present for patients and families (Barnard et al, 2006;Wright & Pugnaire Gros, 2012). As Cramer (2002) observed: "Sometimes just 'being there' is the most important thing we can do.…”

“…Care of patients at the end of life is a universal aspect of nursing practice (Jacono et al, 2009), including oncology nursing practice (Wright & Pugnaire-Gros, 2012). Nurses develop unique relationships with patients and families in everyday practice, and these relationships become the context within which important insights are generated that are relevant to ethical decision-making (Bergum, 2013;Doane & Varcoe, 2007;Nortvedt, 2001;Wright & Brajtman, 2011).…”
