Planning for End-of-Life: Facilitating the Conversations Needed – Presented by the NASW Massachusetts Chapter
Many believe that Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross paved the way for people to consider how we approach and talk about death. This did much to help us realize dying is a process. Just as dying is a process, however, so too should be the conversations and decision-making leading up to the dying experience. Yet in spite of this fact, Americans are woefully remiss in having completed advance directives and even more so in having meaningful conversations with providers and family about their wishes. Extensive research exists lending credibility if not even an urgency, to the notion that having advance directives and more importantly, having important conversations about the directives, is critical for many reasons. Some significant research findings elucidating and supporting this follow. With technological advances in life-saving procedures that make it possible to keep patients alive longer and/or artificially, there is an increasing concern about assisting patients to come to the end of their lives with the dignity and adherence to their values to which most aspire. Upon completion, readers will:
Be able to identify a minimum of 2 barriers to having end-of-life/advance directive conversations.
Be able to identify a minimum of 2 reasons why having advance directives is important.
Be able to identify a minimum of 3 strategies for assisting patients, families and/or colleagues in successfully engaging in advance planning/end-of-life conversations.
