Abstract | This study used both “micro” and “meso” levels of inquiries to attain
a holistic understanding of dignified end-of-life care in the
Hong Kong Chinese context. Through interviews with 18 terminal
cancer patients and 18 of their family caregivers, together with four focus groups with 30 key informants involved in a
end-of-life care pathway programme, 31 themes that elucidate
dignity have been generated. These themes are organized into
9 categories that together have formed the Interpretive-Systemic
Framework of Dignity; which highlights the individual, familial
and institutional dimensions of dignity, and underscores
the socio-political, socio-cultural and socio-spiritual contexts
that dignity is embedded.
Objectives:
1. Discuss the theoretical and empirical foundation of dignity
at end-of-life care in both Western and Chinese societies.
2. Recognize the critical connection between the individual,
familial and institutional perspectives for understanding
dignified end-of-life care. References:

of society for promoting living and dying with dignity. |
