“…End-of-Life Death Rituals. Fourteen of the articles contributed to an EOL theme (Burhansstipanov et al, 2010;Colclough & Brown, 2014;Dennis & Washington, 2018b;Eide, 2007;Gifford et al, 2019;Hafner, 2016;Hampton et al, 2010;Haozous et al, 2016;Haozous & Knobf, 2013;Johnson et al, 2013;McGrath & Philips, 2008b, 2008cRoh et al, 2018;Ruml, 2016).

Spirituality, Quality of Life, and End of Life Among Indigenous Peoples: A Scoping Review

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: While spirituality and quality of life (QOL) are essential components of end-of-life (EOL) care, limited studies have examined these constructs for indigenous peoples. Therefore, the purpose of this article was to examine the state of the science regarding spirituality and QOL at EOL for indigenous people, particularly Native Americans. Method: The Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework guided this scoping review, which examined 30 articles that included qualitative and quantitative studies, commentary papers, and reviews. Results: The findings identified five spiritual dimensions: the life and death journey, a belief in spirits, tribally grounded traditions, dominant cultural religion influences, and a family focus. QOL indicators included survivorship, optimization of holistic health, communication, and access to appropriate resources. Death rituals were important EOL elements. Discussion: Given the importance of spirituality to QOL for indigenous people, clinicians must be knowledgeable and responsive to indigenous spiritual needs to promote QOL at EOL.

“…This is not unique to Africa, as evidenced in contemporary studies of indigenous peoples around the world (e.g. Dennis and Washington, 2018;Kroik et al, 2020), as well as black Americans in the contemporary US (Moore et al, 2020). Such a relational perspective is largely absent in the individualised 'bereavement' research framed by current dominant interventionist perspectives (Klass, 2017), which offer little understanding of how death is experienced in the continuing lives of the living through configurations of personal, 'family' and community relationships, as well as other settings.…”

The Aftermath of Death in the Continuing Lives of the Living: Extending ‘Bereavement’ Paradigms through Family and Relational Perspectives

2023

While there is a significant interdisciplinary and international literature available on death, dying and bereavement, literature addressing responses to death is dominated by assumptions about individuality, framing ‘bereavement’ and ‘grief’ in terms of the inner psychic life of the individual. Scholarly literature tells us little about how the continuing aftermath of death is experienced in the everyday, relational lives of the living. Inspired by research from Majority Worlds, we consider literature that might enable a more ‘relational’ sociological approach, and explore what that might involve. We set out the potential for family sociology to provide an intrinsically (if variable) relational lens on the aftermath of death, along with examples of radical relational theorising more generally. We argue for a reframing and broadening of the dominant ‘bereavement studies’ of Minority Worlds towards a much-needed paradigm shift in understanding the continuing aftermath of death in the lives of the living.

AimTo describe a synthesis of the experience related to the spirituality of those living a bereavement journey in primary qualitative studies.DesignA systematic review of qualitative studies.Data SourceA systematic review was carried out in March 2019 and was updated in January 2023. Searching was accomplished by an online database, such as CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, MedicLatina, LILACS, SciELO and Academic Search Complete. The search strategy did not consider a timeline as an eligibility criterion. The quality of the studies was assessed, and a thematic synthesis was performed in this review.MethodsA systematic review of qualitative studies was conducted according to Saini and Shlonsky's methodology.Reporting MethodPRISMA checklist.ResultsThe review included 33 articles. Most of the studies were phenomenological and focused on parents' and family experiences of bereavement. Seven significant categories emerged, which match unmet spiritual needs during the grieving process. Two major categories were identified regarding the role of spirituality in bereavement: Spirituality as a process and spirituality as an outcome.ConclusionIn clinical practice, attention to spirituality and providing spiritual care is critical to guarantee a holistic approach for those experiencing bereavement.ImplicationsThe findings of our study could foster awareness that healthcare professionals should include the spiritual dimension in their clinical practice to provide holistic care to individuals, enhancing the healing process in bereavement.No Patient or Public ContributionThis is a systematic review.
