Educational needs of healthcare professionals and members of the general public in Alberta Canada, 2 years after the implementation of medical assistance in dying
Medical assistance in dying (MAID) was implemented across Canada in June of 2016, after each Canadian province and territory had developed their own MAID processes. Over the first 2 years, just under 300 Alberta citizens received MAID services, a very small proportion (<0.5%) of all 52,000 decedents. An online 2017-2018 survey of Alberta healthcare providers and members of the general public was conducted to assess and compare their knowledge of …
Death Anxiety Among New Zealanders
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate attitudes of New Zealanders toward death and dying. We administered an online version of Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale and Concerns about Dying Instrument subscales to a representative sample of the New Zealand population. One thousand one people responded to the survey, where the largest age-group lay between 30 and 39 years. Respondents with strong religious beliefs showed strongest …
Bereavement grief
Information is needed on the incidence and prevalence of bereavement grief, and factors associated with severe or prolonged grief. Among 1,208 representative Canadian adults, 96% had experienced bereavement grief and 78% were actively grieving at interview. Grief levels were higher among women, Protestants, and Catholics, when the death was under 2 years previously, when a spouse, parent, or child had died, and when the perceived death quality wa…

Method: A random sample of 2000 individuals resident in New Zealan…
Examining Linkages Between Bereavement Grief Intensity and Perceived Death Quality
Some people experience more intense and prolonged bereavement grief after the death of a loved one. A mixed-methods study was undertaken out of concern that bereavement grief intensity may be associated with survivor perceptions of a “good” or “bad” death. The qualitative study phase was undertaken after a pilot study revealed bereavement grief intensity and perceived death quality were close to being negatively correlated ( R = −.156, p = .06). …
What is spirituality? Evidence from a New Zealand hospice study
Spirituality is increasingly understood to be important in healthcare provision, as seen in policy, guidelines and practice across many Western healthcare systems. Definitions of spirituality remain controversial, despite their importance for consistency in research and practice. This paper reports on the definition findings of a nation-wide New Zealand (NZ) study (2006–2008) that examined understandings, experiences and ways to improve spiritual…
The liminality of palliative care
Introduction: This paper discusses the application of the anthropological concept of liminality to narratives of New Zealanders living in the community with life threatening conditions, both malignant and non-malignant. Method: This qualitative research aimed to explore the ways in which people diagnosed with life-threatening conditions managed their life world. Using a narrative approach, 13 participants, eight spousal caregivers, three adult ch…
Writing with photographs
This essay contests that photography is a companionable genre alongside narrative text when phenomenology is the research method. The hypothesis of this paper is that there is a viable link between phenomenological data analysis, and receiving and interpreting information from a digital image. It is believed that photographs produced as symbolic gestures and iconography together with narrative themes can communicate the lived experience by bringi…
