Um einen Einblick in die Selbstsicht von Patienten am Lebensende zu erlangen, wurden die Patienten gebeten, mit Studierenden zu sprechen. Es zeigte sich, dass Palliativpatienten die Möglichkeit zu Gesprächen mit Studierenden schätzen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Gespräche wurden mit der Methode der Qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Philip Mayring ermittelt. Entsprechende Daten lieferten dabei die Texte von semistrukturierten Tiefeninterviews, die durch die Qualitative Inhaltsanalyse induktiv kodiert worden sind. Die AutorInnen stellen die Methode vor, reflektieren sie und beobachten sie abschließend bei der Durchführung.     Der Inhalt ·        Die Qualitative Inhaltsanalyse im Licht der Wissenschaftstheorie ·        Was ist „Qualitative Inhaltsanalyse“? ·        Studie: Der Patient am Lebensende: eine qualitative Untersuchung über Einblicke in die Erlebniswelt von Patienten ·        Qualitative Inhaltsanalyse: eine kommentierte Literaturliste     Die Zielgruppen ·        GesundheitswissenschaftlerInnen ·        PalliativmedizinerInnen ·        PflegewissenschaftlerInnen ·        WissenschaftlerInnen der Palliative Care   Die HerausgeberInnen Prof. Dr. Martin W.

This thesis by Ulla Frödin examines the health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a treatment for various malignant and some non-malignant diseases. The study evaluates the differences in HRQL between patients receiving myeloablative conditioning (MAC) and reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens, covering the inpatient period up to three years post-transplant. The research identifies significant impacts on patients' functional status, symptom status, and global health, with severe symptoms including nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhea. Results underscore the importance of close follow-ups and targeted support from healthcare professionals to improve patient outcomes.

This briefs reviews the literature on alexithymia with a particular focus on the relation between positive well-being and alexithymia. It starts by exploring the definition, history and etiology of the construct. The briefs then discusses the importance of research and presents new research which sheds light on why alexithymia is characterized by poor well-being. The research strongly suggests that people who score high in alexithymia are low in aspects of positive well-being such as happiness, life satisfaction, and positive affect, and high in aspects of negative well-being, such as depression and negative affect.  Next, the book examines the correlates of alexithymia and the latter’s relation with personality and subjective well-being. Although there has been an increased interest in human flourishing, and even though research in positive psychology has included personality, there has been little application of positive psychology to people with deficits in emotional processing including people with alexithymia. This briefs fills that gap.

Most people strive for happiness, or subjective well-being (SWB), and a high quality of life (QoL) in all areas of their lives. To do so, many have to overcome adversity on a frequent basis. The field of positive psychology, which focuses on human strengths and positive emotions, not only offers people tools to help achieve optimal levels of subjective well-being and quality of life regardless of their circumstances, it also enables us to understand how people utilize such qualities as hope, optimism, resilience, interest, wisdom, altruism, religiosity and spirituality to best cope with adversity. By exploring the latest research in subjective well-being and quality of life, this book shows how qualities of positive psychology interact in a wide variety of contexts in the everyday lives of people. It details evidence from children to the elderly, from marital to professional to school life, from healthy people to those suffering some sort of malediction. And the studies are presented by researchers from various parts of the globe, thereby offering an international and cross-cultural perspective to subjective well-being, quality of life and positive psychology.
