Public community organisations as caring institutions? Small stories about people with dementia and their carers
Public community organisations (libraries, museums, citizen service centres and so on) can contribute to a dementia-friendly community. The perspectives of staff play an important role in this. As part of a participatory health research project, we collected small stories about the experiences of staff with people with dementia and informal carers. Staff in public community organisations have considerable experience interacting with people with d…
CareACT in communities. Theatre interventions for justice-oriented and participatory learning processes in Caring Communities
This article addresses the question of how theatre interventions as elements of a participatory and action-oriented research design can contribute to justice-oriented Caring Community processes. Caring Communities are local initiatives that strengthen everyday solidarity through civic engagement and neighbourhood support, link informal and formal care and contribute to raising public awareness and alternative ways of dealing with social exclusion…
Uncertainty, trust and voluntariness. Key elements of teaching and learning participatory health research in nursing science in the university context
Participatory Health Research (PHR) has a longstanding tradition in nursing science; however, we know little about how PHR can be taught to prospective nursing scientists at the university level. In this paper, we describe and reflect on our experiences with an elective course in PHR as two lecturers and seven students in the Master of Nursing Science at the University of Vienna. All the students combined their job as nursing professionals with t…
Dying is never beautiful, but there are beautiful moments
The concept of the good death has been widely considered. However, the perspectives of those affected have not received sufficient attention. In our empirical study, we conducted interviews with 32 people who were confronted with dying; these people were either terminally ill, elderly or else were bereaved carers. The findings show that for this group of people, dying is not just a physical process, but also a psychological, social and spiritual …
The perspective of professional caregivers working in generalist palliative care on ‘good dying’
In today's industrial societies, many people die receiving professional care. Although specialist palliative and hospice care have often been identified as ideal care approaches to promote good dying, more people die receiving generalist palliative care. This integrative review examines how professional caregivers providing generalist palliative care in hospitals, nursing or private homes define good dying. Furthermore, through comparative analys…
Compassionate Communities
Interdisziplinär und transdisziplinär forschen
Wissenschaft, die sich an gesellschaftlichen Problemen orientiert, ist heute inter- und transdisziplinär. Dieses Buch gibt Einblicke in die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen: Die Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler verlassen das sichere Terrain akademischer Disziplinen. Ihre Expertise wird relativiert, methodisches Neuland wird betreten. Auf Basis von dreißig Jahren Erfahrung fokussieren die Beiträge auf die Forschungspraxis und reflektier…
