Abstract

Purpose: For some years now, a programme for the use of integrative care in paediatric oncology has been established in a German university hospital and offers patients and parents complementary treatment options. According to their medical condition and wishes. A variety of external applications such as medical wraps, warm oil compresses and rhythmic embrocations are offered. This article analyses how patients and parents perceived and experienced the integrative care program. Methods: In this qualitative study, data consists of field notes conducted through participant observation, informal conversations and interviews with parents (n = 25) during the implementation phase of the program. Data was analysed on basis of thematic analysis and organized with the analysis software MAXQDA. Results: Parents and families intuitively developed strategies for dealing with crisis situations such as childhood cancer. In addition, many of the families brought with them a wealth of experience in complementary medicine. Parents perceived the integrative care treatments as soothing, relaxing and pain-relieving for their child. Patients could relax and side effects of chemotherapy were alleviated. However, children, who undergoing chemotherapy were not always open for physical touch and thus sometimes also rejected the treatments sometimes. Conclusion: The analysed integrative care programme is perceived as a strong patient and family-centred approach of support during the oncological paediatric treatment. From a salutogenetic viewpoint, this program aims to strengthen the dimension of manageability within the concept of sense of coherence. Parents are given supportive means to manage side effects and ease their child’s suffering, through touch and attention that can be very beneficial.

Abstract

Purpose: This article discusses the results of an evaluation of the one-year implementation period of an integrative care program at a pediatric oncology ward, which consists of integrative care treatments offered three times a week to the patients. The guiding questions are how the model was implemented, which factors have to be considered for successful implementation, and which factors showed to be obstacles during implementation. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was applied for data saturation. Qualitative data consist of participant observations and informal conversations during the implementation phase. All observational records were filed in the data program MAXQDA. For the quantitative data, all integrative care treatments applied on the intensive care unit were documented and subsequently filed in an Excel sheet. Both sets of data were analyzed for the evaluation. Results: Four main thematic clusters influenced the implementation: (1) the organization and structure of the intensive care unit; (2) mood and atmosphere; (3) feedback on treatment; and (4) time and experience. All factors are interlinked and cannot be looked at independently. Results of the quantitative data show that the most frequent used treatments were those with calming and relaxing effects, followed by treatments for stomachache, nausea, and obstipation. Conclusions: The implementation of an integrative model of care is a process that demands thorough understanding of the complex setting of the ward, ongoing adaptation to the structures and organization of the ward, and the integration of factors like feedback, time, atmosphere, and the mood of parents, patients, and nurses.

5. Gesundheit in der Gegenwart der Ahnen: Afrikanisches Heilen zwischen Akzeptanz und Ablehnung am Beispiel Südafrikas

Abstract

Health in the Presence of the Ancestors: African Healers between Acceptance and Denial: A Case Study from South Africa. Health and well-being for all is the ambitious aim of the third of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). The no less ambitious definition of health of the World Health Organization (WHO) defines that health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. While in biomedical contexts treatment concentrates on physical healing, in the South African context the idea of healing and well-being subsumes a combination of physical, mental and social treatment and includes the ancestors and medicinal plants as an important category in the healing process. The ancestors in particular are representatives of the social past that reaches into the present. Healing as such has a multifaceted dimension even beyond the definition of health as proposed by the WHO.

Abstract

This book deals with the values of medicinal plants and associated knowledge(s) in the field of bioprospecting in post-apartheid South Africa. Bioprospecting, the use of genetic or biological resources for commercial purposes, is a profit-oriented enterprise facing new challenges with the rise of human rights and biodiversity politics. This new situation has led to claims for political leverage made by indigenous communities, as well as to claims for national and local cultural identity and heritage. The picture presented here contributes to the widely discussed yet so far unresolved question of how to appropriately share benefits, and how to protect indigenous knowledge in this field.

Abstract

The aim of this article is to describe what needs to be considered in implementing care practices, in this case an integrative care program consisting of anthroposophic treatments, in an intensive care unit (ICU) of a teaching hospital.We used a pediatric oncology department to implement an integrative care program. We conducted a qualitative study including participant observation and semi-structured interviews with parents, nurses, doctors, and therapists. Data analysis was based on a grounded theory approach and focused on the status quo of care in the ICU.The following factors needed to be considered: the structure of the ICU, communication and information dissemination, and time constraints. This led to the following components of the integrative care program: (1) a training plan in anthroposophic treatments for all nurses that was conducted by 2 trained anthroposophic nurses, and (2) the introduction of an integrative shift that was on top of regular care at the ICU and focused on delivery of integrative care to patients.To add new care components to an ICU, the existing context has to be considered. Time constraints and high workload are factors that need to be recognized. In this particular context, a highly flexible program was the solution.Ziel: Ziel dieses Artikels ist es zu beschreiben, welche Bedingungen für die Implementierung eines Integrativen Pflegeprogramms auf einer kinderonkologischen Intensivstation einer Universitätsklinik notwendig sind. Metho­den: Auf einer kinderonkologischen Station wurde ein Integratives Pflegeprogramm implementiert. Zur Entwicklung des Programms wurde eine qualitative Studie mit teilnehmender Beobachtung und halb-strukturierten Interviews mit Eltern, Krankenschwestern, Ärzten und Therapeuten durchgeführt. Die Datenanalyse erfolgte mit Hilfe von Grounded Theory und konzentrierte sich auf die Analyse des Status quo der Station. Ergebnisse: Die folgenden Faktoren wurden bei der Entwicklung des Programms berücksichtigt: die Struktur der Intensivstation, Kommunikation und Informationsverbreitung, sowie zeitliche Einschränkungen. Daraus resultierten die folgenden Komponenten des Integrativen Pflegeprogramms: (1) ein Trainingsplan zur Vermittlung von pflegerischen Anwendungen der anthroposophischen Medizin für alle Krankenschwestern, welcher von zwei in anthroposophischer Pflege ausgebildeten Schwestern trainiert wurde, und (2) die Einführung einer Integrativen Schicht, die zusätzlich zu dem regulären Schichtensystem eingeführt wurde, um integrative Pflege durchzuführen. Schlussfolgerung: Folgende Kontextfaktoren sollten bei der Einführung eines Integrativen Pflegeprogramms in einem Universitätsklinikum mit einbezogen werden: zeitliche Einschränkungen und starke Arbeitsbelastung des Pflegeteams. Auf der hier untersuchten kinderonkologischen Station war die Einführung eines flexiblen Programms die Lösung.

Parents perceived the integrative care treatments as soothing, relaxing and pain-relieving for their child. Patients could relax and side effects of chemotherapy were alleviated. However, children, who undergoing chemotherapy were not always open for physical touch and thus sometimes also rejected the treatments sometimes. Conclusion The analysed integrative care programme is perceived as a strong patient and family-centred approach of support during the oncological paediatric treatment. From a salutogenetic viewpoint, this program aims to strengthen the dimension of manageability within the concept of sense of coherence. Parents are given supportive means to manage side effects and ease their child’s suffering, through touch and attention that can be very beneficial.

Abstract

Fieldwork comprises of moments when researchers’ institutional, social, and political ascriptions shift, and their social identities and subjectivities conflict, collide, or conflate. These conditions often point to the needs for, or result from, oscillating identifications that compel both researchers and interlocutors to negotiate existing or emerging power relations. A sustained self-reflection of one’s changing and conflicting roles as field researcher can assist ethnographers in coping with different expectations and ascribed responsibilities, and contributes to nuanced analysis, interpretation, and representation of the studied phenomena.

Abstract

Purpose Purpose of this paper is to describe the project design for the development of a context-specific and patient-focused integrative care programme for an intensive care unit for paediatric oncology to ease the strain of the treatments for patients and their families. Integrative care interventions based on anthroposophical medicine such as wraps, compresses and rhythmic body oiling can be used to ease typical side effects such as nausea, pain and agitation. Methods Conduct of a literature research on existing integrative care programmes in medical hospitals and biomedical settings and the identification of appropriate methods to achieve the research aim. Results A project design was developed which can be used as a basis for developing, introducing and evaluating an integrative care programme for a paediatric oncological intensive care unit in a German university hospital. A qualitative study design was chosen to develop this programme. This included participant observations and interviews with all stakeholders at the respective oncology ward as well as in existing oncology wards that work with an integrative care programme. The primary emphasis was on the criteria appropriateness for the specific setting, sustainability and financial viability as well as on the development of an appropriate evaluation model. Conclusions When developing an integrative care programme for use in the specific setting of a paediatric oncology ward and selecting the appropriate interventions for inclusion in the programme, particular attention should be paid to the needs of the patients as well as to the practicability for the nursing staff, particularly with regard to resources such as time and personnel. Both the nursing team and nursing management should be actively involved in the project design from the outset. In the evaluation particular importance is attached to feasibility. The challenge for the economic evaluation is to create a robust database for negotiation of financing possibilities.
