- The notion of quality of life has for several decades been well-established in ethical debate about health care and the care of older people. Dignity in Care for Older People highlights the notion of dignity within the care of the elderly, focusing on the importance of theoretical concepts. Primarily based on a Research Project, Dignity and Older Europeans, funded by the European Commission, this book provides a thorough investigation of the concept of dignity and related concepts such as quality of life and autonomy. It includes a chapter devoted to the dignity of human embodiment, emphasizing the importance of the notion of the lived body in the context of elderly care. As a result of the conceptual study a model of dignity emerges in which four variants of dignity stand out: dignity of merit, dignity as moral status, dignity of identity and Menschenwurde (the specifically human value). From this follows a discussion of how these variants of dignity can be used in characterizing the care of the elderly. The notions of dignity and dignified care are discussed particularly in relation to demented persons and dying persons.The book also contains a chapter on the dignity of the dead person. International in focus, Dignity in Care for Older People provides a contemporary discussion of the care of older people, and will be of use to qualified nurses and social care practitioners working with older people, as well as those on ethics and gerontology courses.

- 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.

Health, autonomy and quality of life : some basic concepts in the theory of health care and the care of older people

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this first chapter a number of basic concepts related to health care and the care of older people are analysed. The analysis focuses particulary on the concepts of quality of life and dignity. These two concepts however, are not the only ones to be considered in a situation of care. There are other values with which we are perhaps better acqainted and which must play an important role. Among these are health, autonomy and integrity. In this chapter i present some of these values and analyse them to a certain extent. This should make it easier to comprehend the more complicated concepts of quality of life and dignity. The discussion of quality of life is included in this first chapter since it is so closely related to health, which is the first concept to be studied. The discussion of dignity is helt over to the next chapter, where it can be explored in greater detail; this is necessary because the analysis is largely original and som of the ideas are presented here for the first time.

- Dignity is assumed to be a basic value (or a set of values) that a human being can possess. Moreover, it is a value that should be respected both by the person him or herself and by other human beings. Many contemporary ethicists maintain that it is of the outmost importance that such respect should be an element of health care and the care of older people.
