The interpretation and practice of family empowerment in home care nursing: palliative and chronic illness contexts
EF 2008-09
Résumé
In this research, we are examining how home care nurses practice "family empowerment" in their interactions with dying (palliative) patients and their families, and comparing this to how they practice it in interactions with patients and families that are not palliative. We are also interested in observing family members' experiences with home care nurses in these interactions. Not all family members may be comfortable with an empowerment approach - it is important to explore the reasons for this, as well as the implications for these family members' perceptions of their experiences with home care nursing. This research can help improve home care nursing practice with palliative patients and families, enhancing its effectiveness and ensuring that it provides appropriate kinds of support tailored to individual needs.
