  • Grief and Oncology Nursing

    1188 Words  | 3 Pages

    My earliest experiences of observing nursing in action occurred during my last two years of high school. My father was diagnosed with cancer during the spring of my junior year and died right before my senior year. During that short time I watched as the nurses cared for him and I could see compassion and empathy in the way they looked at him. It never occurred to me until after I had raised my children that I wanted to be able to help people in the same way those nurses helped my dad. But now when I tell people that I want to be an oncology nurse, people often respond by saying that they would never choose that type of nursing. They say that they could not stand to watch their patients die so frequently. Their reactions, along with this course in death and dying, have made me question how I might be able to bear the challenges of nursing in an area where death of my patients may be common. I believe that oncology will be a positive specialty to work in because of the consistent advances in prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer. Furthermore, I believe that William Worden’s four tasks of mourning as presented in our text book is a good framework for the oncology nurse to use in order to cope with the repeated losses inherent in this type of nursing (Leming and Dickinson, 2011).

  • Theories Of The Grieving Process

    659 Words  | 2 Pages

    In discussing theories of grief it should be noted that a theory, in and of itself, is a technique used to map out, explain and understand an event or process. Most individuals experience grief in a subjective manner depending upon events surrounding the death, support, spirituality, personality and unique situation of their own life (Jackson-Cherry & Erford, 2014). However, most will experience similar attitudes and feelings with the many aspects of the grieving process. I like the way Worden approaches the grief process in that it seems natural and humanistic. Worden views the individual experiencing grief and loss as participating in an active and engaged process and not merely stages one must pass through (Jackson-Cherry & Erford, 2014). He indicates that while trying to construct a sense of homeostatic balance individuals will take part in four tasks of mourning (Lista, 2013). The tasks are listed in a particular order although individuals may proceed through them in any random order according to Jackson-Cherry and Erford (2014). Additionally, they indicate one may find themselves frequenting or working through one or more of the tasks more than once and may experience a more cyclical progression of grief. Worden leads me to visualize grief as a dynamic and ongoing process rather than a static or one time event. Jackson-Cherry & Erford (2014) say the first task, after the initial impact of a loss, comes in the form of acknowledgment that a loved is gone and is not going to return. The second task revolves around allowing one’s self to experience all the emotions they will encounter. Worden suggests, according to
