Psychological ideas in palliative care : distress, adjustment and coping

Article indépendant

STRACHAN, Jenny

In the seventh article in our series ‘Psychology in palliative practice’, Jenny Strachan looks at how distress, a common phenomenon at the end of life, affects the psychological well-being of patients receiving palliative care and that of their families. When is it a normal reaction and when is it so intense that it’s problematic or clinically significant? She advises on the process of adjustment, which allows people to find a new equilibrium that takes account of the disturbing changes in their lives, and on the different models devised to explain its operation. Jenny also outlines how coping strategies fit into the picture and gives guidance on identifying barriers to coping and working effectively with patients and families in distress to encourage them to find an equilibrium.
