Abstract

ABSTRACT This article draws on data generated from a wider study into experiences of the Punjabi Indians with palliative care services at regional residential aged care facilities (RACFs) in the Riverina region of New South Wales (NSW) Australia. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, group interviews with the Punjabi Indians and the care staff of RACFs reveal a perceived substandard quality of psychosocial care, one that overlooks religious and spiritual aspects for service users. The findings of this study highlight the importance of restoring the balance between biomedical and psychosocial-spiritual aspects of palliative care especially for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and faith groups, such as Punjabi Indians within the aged care sector.

旁遮普印度人临终时的精神包容:区域性老年护理机构的经验

本文借鉴了一项更广泛的研究数据，该研究对澳大利亚新南威尔士州(NSW) Riverina地区的旁遮普印第安人在区域住宅老年护理机构(racf)接受姑息治疗服务的经验进行了研究。采用定性现象学方法，对旁遮普印第安人和乡村社区基金会的护理人员进行了小组访谈，结果显示，人们认为心理社会护理的质量不合格，忽视了服务使用者的宗教和精神方面。这项研究的结果强调了恢复姑息治疗的生物医学和心理-社会-精神方面的平衡的重要性，特别是对于文化和语言多样化(CALD)和信仰群体，如老年护理部门的旁遮普印度人。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Religion, Spirituality and Aging is an interdisciplinary, interfaith professional journal in which the needs, aspirations, and resources of aging constituencies come clearly into focus. Combining practical innovation and scholarly insight, the peer-reviewed journal offers timely information and probing articles on such subjects as long-term care for the aging, support systems for families of the aging, retirement, counseling, death, ethical issues, and more . Providing a crucial balance between theory and practice, the journal informs secular professionals – administrators, counselors, nurses, physicians, recreational rehabilitative therapists, and social workers – about developments in the field of Religion, Spirituality, and Aging. The journal also serves as a resource for religious professionals, such as pastors, religious educators, chaplains, and pastoral counselors who work with aging people and their families.
