Hypothetical Scenario

The paper presents a tool for selecting appropriate Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly rules during product design while considering Design for Disassembly rules and end-of-life recovery conditions. This tool exposes the relations between the various types of design rules and end-of-life recovery parameters. Four different relationship types are developed in this research: recovery conditions and recovery options relationship, Design for Disassembly rules and recovery options relationship, Design for Disassembly rules and recovery conditions relationship, Design for Disassembly rules, and Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly rules relationship. The purpose of this research is to build these relations and transform these relationships into a database. The database serves as tool from which design rules can be retrieved by running queries. In addition to design rule retrieval, the tool also shows the relationships with various design rules, recovery options, and recovery conditions. This provides designers with information as to which rules are in conflict and which are complementary for the specific situation under consideration. To illustrate this tool, it is applied to motor-drive assembly and thermal gun sight, which are already design products. Additionally the application of the tool is demonstrated using a hypothetical scenario which involves products like coffee cup, cell phone and stapler.

Patient Centric

Purpose Palliative care is a philosophy of care that encompasses holistic, patient-centric care involving patients and their family members and loved ones. Palliative care patients often have complex needs. A common challenge in managing patients near their end of life is the complexity of navigating clinical decisions and finding achievable and realistic goals of care that are in line with the values and wishes of patients. This often results in differing opinions and conflicts within the multidisciplinary team. Conclusion This article describes a tool derived from the biopsychosocial model and the 4-quadrant ethical model. The authors describe the use of this tool in managing a patient who wishes to have fried chicken despite aspiration risk and how this tool was used to encourage discussions and reduce conflict and distress within the multidisciplinary team.

Four Levels

This article addresses the unique roles of social work and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in end-of-life and hospice care settings. The four levels of hospice care are explained. Suggested social work and SLP interventions for end-of-life nutrition and approaches to patient communication are offered. Case studies are used to illustrate the specialized roles that social work and SLP have in end-of-life care settings.

Ethische Probleme

Als Einrichtungen des Gesundheitswesens sind stationäre Hospize in Deutschland zur Qualitätssicherung und internen Qualitätsentwicklung verpflichtet. Die Bedeutung der Patientenzufriedenheit als einer der indirekten Indikatoren zur Beurteilung der Pflege- und Betreuungsqualität ist mittlerweile unumstritten. Eine subjektive Bewertung des Hospizes durch den Gast selbst birgt sowohl praktische als auch ethische Probleme. Eine Befragung der Angehörigen empfiehlt sich. Der vorliegende Artikel beschreibt die Entwicklung eines Instruments zur Evaluation stationärer Hospize aus der Sicht hinterbliebener Angehöriger. Mit dessen Hilfe soll die Frage, wie Angehörige die Begleitung und Pflege beurteilen, die ihnen sowie ihrem verstorbenen Familienmitglied durch das Hospiz zuteil wurde, beantwortet werden. Die Konstruktion der Fragen erfolgte auf Basis bestehender Konzepte zum Assessment der end-of-life care und einer Analyse aller identifizierten Instrumente zur Evaluation stationärer Hospize aus der Perspektive hinterbliebener Angehöriger. Die Fragebogenentwicklung umfasste neben der umfassenden Literaturrecherche die Bildung eines Itempools, die Itemauswahl, die kritische Diskussion der Fragen im Expertenkreis sowie einen standardisierten und kognitiven Pretest. Entstanden ist ein fünfdimensionaler Fragebogen, der physische, psychologische, soziale, spirituelle und versorgungsorganisatorische Aspekte der end-of-life care integriert. Das Instrument umfasst 53 Items in Form überwiegend geschlossener Fragen.
