| Popis: | To understand the meaning of self-determination in residential care, as experienced by residents in the palliative phase, a hermeneutic approach was used to analyze 20 interviews. The results showed that lacking self-determination threatened the residents' experiences of living a dignified life. Bodily decline and dependency forced residents to adapt to new circumstances, making them experience changes in self-image, loneliness, a loss of influence over their lives, and a diminishing of their needs. To navigate this new situation, they strove to keep control over their lives, held on to their identities, and accepted help from trusted persons. |
