Initial emphasis on the medical model, which considers bodily pathology and the technological potential to prolong life, is now expanding to incorporate a more humanistic picture of the individuals response to treatment and their quality of life (QoL). This uncertain partnership of technology and human experience has led to an increasing awareness of the need for health professionals to attain an understanding of the illness experience as it impacts on the patient's life. The importance of considering not only absolute survival time but the quality of that survival has triggered rapid growth in the areas of coping and QoL research. This paper provides a review of the literature which focuses on QoL and coping in haemodialysis patients and demonstrates the paucity of research which investigates the special concerns of home dialysis patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":79589,"journal":{"name":"EDTNA/ERCA journal (English ed.)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21259674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Memorial services can function as a way of saying goodbye and also acknowledge the reality of the loss for both staff and relatives (1). A remembrance service was an ideal opportunity to provide support and comfort to bereaved relatives, reinforcing the idea that patients, relatives and friends are valued by those who care for them. The service proved to be very successful, with positive feedback from both relatives and staff.

Didactic elements were included as well as videos, slides, workshop and games. More than 50% of the 28 nurses who attended the courses worked within in a renal setting.
