These discussions can be useful in facilitating advance care planning and connecting patients to services such as palliative care that improve quality of life. Terror Management Theory, a social psychology theory stating that humans are motivated to resolve the discomfort surrounding their inevitable death, has been discussed in the psychology literature as an underlying basis of human decision-making and behavior. This paper explores how Terror Management Theory could be extended to seriously ill populations and applied to their healthcare decision-making processes and quality of care received.Item Bio-psycho-social-spiritual needs of adolescents and young adults with life-threatening illnesses: Implications for social work practice(Taylor & Francis, 2018-04-21) Beerbower, Emily; Winters, Drew; Kondrat, DavidThis paper explores the biopsychosocial and spiritual needs of adolescents and young adults (AYA) with life-threatening or terminal illnesses. AYA are situated between childhood and adulthood (ages 15–25) and have distinct biopsychosocial and spiritual needs unique to their developmental stage. Having a life-threatening or terminal illness directly challenges normal AYA developmental tasks and identity formation. AYA experience more troubling physical symptoms during the dying process compared to other age groups, which leads to significant psychological distress and an increased need for pharmacological treatments. In general, AYA desire to be fully informed and involved in the health care decision-making process, leading to ethical dilemmas when the AYA is a minor and their wishes differ from the wishes of their legal guardian(s). Social workers are especially well-equipped to serve this population due to aligning professional standards and ability to advocate for holistic care within interdisciplinary teams. Additional research is needed to tailor holistic interventions to meet the needs of this population.Item Cancer care quality measures: symptoms and end-of-life care (Evidence report/technology assessment no. 137)(Rockville, MD: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2006-05) Southern California Evidence-Based Practice Center/RANDEvaluates the quality of end-of-life care for cancer patients.
