Caring Connections: A Grounded Theory Study of the Grief and Bereavement Experiences of Children With Intellectual Disabilities
Children with intellectual disabilities (ID) have been minimally represented in grief research. This grounded theory study aimed to elucidate the grief and bereavement experiences of children with ID from the perspective of their caregivers, and optionally from their child, and to develop a substantive theory to guide developmentally inclusive interventions. Eligible participants were caregivers of a child with ID who was 5-17 years old when they…
Assessing prioritization of a good death across Brazil, Italy, Japan, and the United States: A psychometric evaluation
Empirically vetted measures capturing individual priorities for a good death are lacking. This study assessed the measurement properties, measurement invariance, and internal consistency reliability of a prospective measure, Prioritization of a Good Death Index. We used data from a probability sample ( N = 4,239) of the general public in Brazil ( n = 1,233), Italy ( n = 1,000), Japan ( n = 1,000), and the United States ( n = 1,006). We assessed a…
Exploring Congruency of Death Location Preferences Versus Expectations: Findings from the General Public in Brazil, Italy, Japan, and the U.S
Honoring an individual's preference in death location is a crucial indicator of quality end-of-life care. Though studies have explored congruency in death location preferences and actual death location in terminal samples, more research is needed to understand perceptions of death locations with samples of the general public. Using national probability samples from Brazil, Italy, Japan, and the U.S., this study explored individual's perceptions o…
Bereavement Support Services in a National Sample of Hospices: A Content Analysis
Although the Medicare Hospice Benefit mandates that hospices offer bereavement support services to families for at least 1 year following the death of a patient, it does not stipulate which services they should offer. As a result, little is known about what bereavement support services hospices provide, especially on a national scale. The current study recruited a national sample of hospice representatives who responded to an open-ended question …
Comfort with discussions about death, religiosity, and attitudes about end‐of‐life care
In end‐of‐life (EOL) care research, death anxiety and religiosity are often overlooked. Terror management theory (TMT) may provide a useful conceptual model with which to examine how comfort discussing death and religiosity influence attitudes related to EOL care. A telephone‐based survey was conducted among community‐dwelling adults in the Unites States. Via random sampling, with over‐sampling of Hispanics/African Americans, 123 completed survey…
Social exclusion factors influencing life satisfaction among older adults
This study aims to examine the relative impact of social exclusion factors on older adults’ life satisfaction. This study conducted a cross-sectional analysis of psychosocial measures from the 2012 wave of the Health and Retirement Study (N=4,139). Results found that social exclusion factors indeed affect life satisfaction. Health had the strongest effect on life satisfaction. Good social relationships also positively affect life satisfaction. Th…
Quality of death among hospice decedents: Proxy observations from a survey of community-dwelling adults in the contiguous United States
This study examines hospice service experience and quality of death. A survey of 123 community-dwelling adults in the United States found that physical comfort, pain-free, and spiritual peace were more important to respondents reporting a personal experience with hospice. A "good death" was associated with older patients who died at home, and respondent satisfaction with hospice service. A "good death" was mapped as 29 nodes and 79 links using se…
Fidelity Decision Making in Social and Behavioral Research: Alternative Measures of Dose and Other Considerations
This article advances the discussion of treatment fidelity in social and behavioral intervention research by analyzing fidelity in an intervention study conducted within participating long-term care settings of the Collaborative Studies of Long-Term Care. The authors used the Behavior Change Consortium's (BCC) best practices for enhancing treatment fidelity recommendations in the areas of study design, provider training, treatment delivery, treat…
Treatment Fidelity in Social Work Intervention Research: A Review of Published Studies
Objectives: This study investigated treatment fidelity in social work research. Method: The authors systematically reviewed all articles published in five prominent social work journals over a 5- year period. Sixty-three outcome studies were identified and reviewed for how well treatment fidelity was monitored using eight review criteria. Results: Seventy-one percent of reviewed studies defined each independent variable but more than two thirds l…
Caregiving in a Patient’s Place of Residence: Turnover of Direct Care Workers in Home Care and Hospice Agencies
Differences in turnover between hospice and home health agencies suggest that organizational characteristics of hospice care contribute to lower turnover rates. However, the variation in turnover rates is not fully explained by the proposed multivariate models. Future research should explore individual and structural-level variables that affect voluntary and involuntary turnover in these settings
