| Summary: | This thesis is an exploration of the social construction and
organization of community palliative care. The author's personal
experience as the wife of a dying person is used to explicate the social
relations of palliative care, through the feminist and constructivist
methodology of institutional ethnography. The data analyzed includes a
personal journal, working texts of the palliative care team (e.g. recording
and reporting forms) obtained through Freedom of Information, and the
Palliative Care at Home manual. === Graduate === 0452 |
