Samenvatting

Highlights the importance of dignity within the care of the elderly, focusing on the importance of theoretical concepts International in focus, it provides a contemporary discussion of the care of older people Of use to qualified nurses and social care practitioners working with older people, as well as those on ethics and gerontology courses.

The notion of quality of life has, for several decades, been well established in ethical debate about health care and the care of older people. Dignity in Care for Older People highlights the notion of dignity within the care of the elderly, focusing on the importance of theoretical concepts.

Primarily based on the research project, Dignity and Older Europeans, funded by the European Commission, this book provides a thorough investigation of the concept of dignity and related concepts such as quality of life and autonomy. It includes a chapter devoted to the dignity of human embodiment, emphasising the importance of the notion of the lived body in the context of elderly care. As a result of the conceptual study, a model of dignity emerges in which four variants of dignity stand out: dignity of merit, dignity as moral status, dignity of identity and Menschenwürde (the specifically human value). From this follows a discussion of how these variants of dignity can be used in characterising the care of the elderly. The notions of dignity and dignified care are discussed, particularly in relation to demented persons and dying persons. The book also contains a chapter on the dignity of the dead person.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
