Produktinformationen zu „Physicians' Experiences with Patients' Deaths “
For physicians, encountering a patient's death can be complex and may involve
issues of personal meaning and emotional connection. As meaning and
connection shape experiences, so experiences shape purpose and, understanding
affecting encounters and relationships with others. It is through this
living process that individuals learn and grow. Physicians' experiences and
learning have an impact on how they care for patients and how they view
their own work. This work examines physicians' experiences with patients'
deaths. It shows that physicians learned from patients' death and that learning
was more often related to communication than medical care. Physicians
also derived personal meaning from their experiences and felt deep emotional
connections with their patients and the families of patients, long remembering
emotionally powerful deaths. Non-physicians may find the experiences recounted
here provide insight into the world of medicine. Providing effective
care for dying patients and their families can be a powerful way to help
physicians connect, or re-connect, to the meaning of their work.
