Intentional presence and the accompaniment of dying patients

Article indépendant

GUITE-VERRET, Alexandra | VACHON, Mélanie | GIRARD, Dominique

In this paper, we offer a phenomenological and hermeneutical perspective on the presence of clinicians who care for the suffering and dying patients in the context of end-of-life care. Clinician presence is described as a way of (1) being present to the patient and to oneself, (2) being in the present moment, and (3) receiving and giving a presence (in the sense of a gift). We discuss how presence is a way of restoring human beings' relational and dialogical nature. To inform a different perspective on relational ethics, we also discuss how accompaniment refers to the clinician's awareness of the human condition and its existential limits.
