Lived Experiences of Women Navigating End-of-Life Caregiving and Parenting During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic intensified the burden on informal caregivers, particularly those with dual caregiving roles.

We aimed to examine how the intersection of these roles influenced women’s experiences during caregiving and into bereavement. We analyzed 11 qual…
Patient quality of life and caregiver experiences in ovarian cancer
Testing terror management theory in advanced cancer
Death anxiety is common in advanced cancer due to heightened mortality salience. We tested terror management theory (TMT) in this population ( N = 305) by evaluating the buffering effect of the distal defenses (attachment security, meaning, self-esteem) on the impact of physical impairment (a proxy for mortality salience) on death anxiety. Patients with greater numbers of strong distal defenses reported lower death anxiety than those with no stro…
Goals Set in the Land of the Living/Dying
A longitudinal qualitative research study was undertaken to provide an understanding of a prolonged experience of advanced cancer, as seen through the eyes of dying individuals. Using a variant of the grounded theory method, the authors theoretically sampled, from outpatient clinics in a large comprehensive cancer treatment center, 27 patients with either advanced lung or gastrointestinal cancer who had an expected survival of up to 2 years. The …
