Life story themes : a qualitative analysis of recordings from patients approaching the end of life

Article indépendant

SKINNER, Shannon | BONNET, Kemberlee | SCHLUNDT, David | KARLEKAR, Mohana

OBJECTIVE: To identify common themes and topics that patients nearing the end of life want to discuss when sharing their life stories. METHODS: Twenty audio-recorded transcripts of open-ended interviews of patients cared for by a palliative care team when approaching the end of life were analyzed using a qualitative analysis. RESULTS: Qualitative analysis revealed that the primary contextual factors that patients drew upon to generate his or her life story are life events (including upbringing, job, education, travel, trauma, hardships, special events, military history, and hobbies), family and support system, and values and beliefs. Participants used their current medical condition, which included mortality, morbidity, and prognosis, to frame their life story. CONCLUSION: Patients facing serious illness incorporate four major themes when reflecting upon their lives to create their personal life story: life events, family and support system, values and beliefs, and current medical condition.
