Marguerite M. Stevens, Ph.D., Associate Professor To develop a multi-method, cross-disciplinary analysis to understand more about the dying experience of seriously ill adults through analyzing patient and family reports of severe pain, and developing descriptive models of "good" and "bad" dying experiences from the viewpoints of the patient and family. With this new level of understanding and descriptions of pain and dying, NCI hopes to change the quality of dying and the existing culture of the dying experience through public and professional education. The completed and integrated analyses will contribute to books published by The Center to Improve Care of the Dying. | $100,000 | Two Years |
