| Annotation | This paper examines differences in the ability of patients to utilize supportive resources offered through hospice care, depending on the individual's ego strength and spiritual resources. The author surveys psychological and spiritual theories for differences in how patients respond to terminal illness. The responses of three dying patients are analysed relative to their ability to utilise emotional and spiritual support in the face of loss. Strategic approaches for hospice staff providing care are suggested. (RH). |
