Produktinformationen zu „Dignity in Care for Older People (PDF)“
The notion of quality of life has for several decades been
well-established in ethical debate about health care and the care
of older people. Dignity in Care for Older People
highlights the notion of dignity within the care of the elderly,
focusing on the importance of theoretical concepts.
Primarily based on a Research Project, Dignity and Older Europeans,
funded by the European Commission, this book provides a thorough
investigation of the concept of dignity and related concepts such
as quality of life and autonomy. It includes a chapter devoted to
the dignity of human embodiment, emphasizing the importance of the
notion of the lived body in the context of elderly care. As a
result of the conceptual study a model of dignity emerges in which
four variants of dignity stand out: dignity of merit, dignity as
moral status, dignity of identity and Menschenwürde (the
specifically human value). From this follows a discussion of how
these variants of dignity can be used in characterizing the care of
the elderly. The notions of dignity and dignified care are
discussed particularly in relation to demented persons and dying
persons. The book also contains a chapter on the dignity of the
dead person.
International in focus, Dignity in Care for Older People
provides a contemporary discussion of the care of older people, and
will be of use to qualified nurses and social care practitioners
working with older people, as well as those on ethics and
gerontology courses.
