Reimagining hospice palliative care delivery post-Covid-19
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, palliative care services had to find new and imaginative ways of working, as well as having to revise and establish new policies and practices quickly. This study examined the shift in thinking of hospice/palliative care services in Scotland, UK, due to COVID-19, using a descriptive qualitative design. Eleven structured interviews were conducted (October 2022 to January 2023) via telephone or videoconference (ZOO…
I think it's wrong, but it helps' - a focused ethnography of benzodiazepine practices in specialist palliative care
Benzodiazepines are a class of drug extensively used in palliative care. Their use has predominantly been studied within a biomedical framework. Our study instead focused on the sociocultural aspects of benzodiazepine practices. We aimed to explore clinicians, patients and family members' values, beliefs, knowledge and feelings regarding use of benzodiazepines, including in-situ clinical decision-making processes, affects and actions. Social theo…
Relational approaches to conceptualising, measuring and enacting wellbeing and care in palliative and end-of-life contexts
‘Physical well‐being is our top priority’
BACKGROUND: Following stroke, a sense of well-being is critical for quality of life. However, people living with stroke, and health professionals, suggest that well-being is not sufficiently addressed within stroke services, contributing to persistent unmet needs. Knowing that systems and structures shape clinical practice, this study sought to understand how health professionals address well-being, and to examine how the practice context influen…
Engaging with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities to Promote Palliative Care That Exceeds Expectation
INTRODUCTION: Given longstanding barriers that obstruct integrated palliative care, particularly for culturally and linguistically diverse communities, this article demonstrates a way to engage with Syrian, Bhutanese and African communities to learn about brilliant palliative care with and from members of these communities. METHODS: This study involved the methodology of POSH-VRE, which combines positive organisational scholarship in healthcare (…
Did we do our best?’ Reviewing person-centred compassionate care at the end of life in an acute hospital in the United Kingdom, during the Covid-19 pandemic. An Appreciative Inquiry
There is an outstanding task for all international healthcare organisations to understand how healthcare services learn from the COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to understand whether the treatment and holistic care received by each person who died with presumed nosocomial COVID-19 in our United Kingdom hospital was provided with kindness and compassion. A multi-professional team carried out a service evaluation underpinned by Appreciative Inquiry (A…
‘When a patient chooses to die at home, that's what they want… comfort, home’
INTRODUCTION: To redress the scholarly preoccupation with gaps, issues, and problems in palliative care, this article extends previous findings on what constitutes brilliant palliative care to ask what brilliant nursing practices are supported and promoted. METHODS: This study involved the methodology of POSH-VRE, which combines positive organisational scholarship in healthcare (POSH) with video-reflexive ethnography (VRE). From August 2015 to Ma…
Unsettling Place(s) at the end of life
A Place to Live and to Die
In many countries, an increasing proportion of deaths occur in residential aged care (RAC) (nursing homes) meaning that these have become both a place to live - a home- and a place to die. This paper reports on death practices and rituals in 49 RAC facilities in Aotearoa/New Zealand narrated in semi-structured interviews with staff. Themes coalesced around 'good death'. Dying alone was not seen as a good death and the demands of trying to prevent…
Bereaved Families’ Perspectives of End-of-Life Care. Towards a Bicultural Whare Tapa Whā Older person’s Palliative Care Model
Video-Reflexive Ethnography in Health Research and Healthcare Improvement
This innovative, practical guide introduces researchers to the use of the video reflexive ethnography in health and health services research. This methodology has enjoyed increasing popularity among researchers internationally and has been inspired by developments across a range of disciplines: ethnography, visual and applied anthropology, medical sociology, health services research, medical and nursing education, adult education, community devel…
Safety and wellbeing as spatial capacities
Patient safety and quality of care are increasing concerns for healthcare internationally. This paper examines the spatial achievement of safety and wellbeing by healthcare staff, patients and their carers within UK primary care and Australian palliative care contexts. Two key socio-spatial modes of safety and wellbeing were found across these healthcare contexts. The technical mode was spatially managed by staff and driven by formal approaches t…
Using Positive Organizational Scholarship in Healthcare and Video Reflexive Ethnography to Examine Positive Deviance to New Public Management in Healthcare
Following increased interest in and use of new public management (NPM), greater regulation has been introduced into many Western health systems. Yet, the effects have revealed the negative aspects of NPM. Positive organizational scholars have argued that adversity can give rise to positive deviance. Yet as a form of noncompliance, positive deviance can be difficult to examine. This methodological article demonstrates how the combined methodologie…
Researching Reflexively With Patients and Families
Patient safety research has to date offered few opportunities for patients and families to be actively involved in the research process. This article describes our collaboration with patients and families in two separate studies, involving end-of-life care and infection control in acute care. We used the collaborative methodology of video-reflexive ethnography, which has been primarily used with clinicians, to involve patients and families as act…
Finding the patient in patient safety
In the last decade, the field of patient safety has grappled with the complexity of health-care systems by attending to the activity of frontline clinicians. This article extends the field by highlighting the activity of patients and their carers in determining the safety of these systems. We draw on data from three studies exploring patients' accounts of their health-care experiences in Australia and internationally, to show how patients and car…
