Abstract

This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of what dignity is for older people cared for in a hospital. Old age is one stage in life where dignity might be threatened during hospitalization. This study is rooted in the theoretical perspective of caring and caring science. The overall methodology is the hermeneutical philosophy of understanding as outlined by Hans-Georg Gadamer. The interpretation revealed the patients’ struggle between death and life, and the struggle between being dignified and being violated. Being old and hospitalized entail a struggle in standing on one’s dignity.
努力恢复自己作为一个独特的人:老年医院病人的尊严——一项解释学研究
这项研究的目的是更深入地了解在医院接受照顾的老年人的尊严是什么。老年是生命的一个阶段,在住院期间尊严可能受到威胁。本研究根植于关怀与关怀科学的理论视角。总体方法论是汉斯-格奥尔格·伽达默尔概述的解释学理解哲学。这种解读揭示了病人在生与死之间的挣扎,在尊严与被侵犯之间的挣扎。年纪大了,又住院了,这就需要在维护自己的尊严方面进行一番斗争。
