Dignity as an object of empirical study : experiences from two research programmes

• The results of the empirical studies in the two projects focuses upon in this book, the Home project and the DOE project (Dignity and Older Europeans) are very rich. The country teams have collected an impressive volume of material which it will take a long time to analyse thoroughly. As will have become evident already, it is easy to give examples of quality of life, autonomy, integrity and dignity from the various studies in the two projects. This holds in particular for quality of life and autonomy in the Home project and for dignity in the DOE project. Dignity was the target concept in the DOE project, whereas good care in a broad sense was the target concept in the Home project.
