The examination is organized around five central questions: what brings individuals to this work?; what enables them to develop effective caregiving relationships?; what sustains them in their work?; what responsibilities do they have to themselves and to others?; and how are they are influ…

A Proposed Model of Health Professionals' Grieving Process
This article proposes a model that conceptualizes health professionals' reactions to the multiple deaths of their patients, in terms of loss and grief. It suggests that grieving is both an individual and a social-interactive process that may be understood in terms of an ongoing fluctuation between experiencing grief reactions by focusing on the loss experience, and repressing or avoiding grief reactions by moving away from it. This fluctuation al…

Training Health Professionals in Caring for Dying Children and Grieving Families
In most industrialized countries today, the death of a child is a rare phenomenon. When it occurs, however, it is usually within a hospital setting, after the child has received complex and often long-term medical care aimed at curing or controlling a serious disease. Thus, health professionals are increasingly exposed to the dying process and death of a child with little prior education to help them deal with the particular needs of young patien…
Death of a child at home or in hospital
The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences of Greek mothers who cared for a child dying of cancer at home or in the hospital, and to highlight some of their major needs during the terminal period. Fifteen mothers were interviewed and both quantitative and qualitative procedures were used to analyze the findings. Ten families (67%) chose to care for the child at home without having access to home care services, while the remainin…
Factors contributing to the development of burnout in oncology nursing

Seven tools, measuring a selected set of demographic, psychological and occupational variables, were administered to 217…
