Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- 'Existential' can be seen as a broad term for issues surrounding people's experiences and way of thinking about life. This study examined availability of existential care and found that many different staff categories performed existential care. Existential care is associated with conversations and experienced as both easy and difficult; several factors were cited, e.g. insufficient time, stress and the difficulty of addressing existential questions for oneself. Respondents reported need for education, guidance and reflection around existential issues and care. Existential care is described as a natural part of patient care that all professional categories have a responsibility to offer.
