Cancer is an important medical and public health problem. Each year more than 1.2million individuals in the United states are diagnosed with the disease and more than50,0000 die from it (Garfinkel, 1995). Cancer is the second leading cause of death in theUnited States (after heart disease) and a major source of premature mortality among bothmen and women (Garfinkel, 1995). It is estimated that 70 out of 100,000 people developcancer (between 5 and 6 lakh cases) annually in India (National Cancer Registry, 1987). Itstrikes all ages and all social, ethnic, religious, and cultural strata. Studies indicated thatthere was a meteoric rise in the mortality rate associated with Cancer. At the turn of the20th century, cancer was the eighth leading cause of death, far behind infectious illness,heart disease and stroke, accounting for 3% of death in the United States (Institute for theFuture, 2000). Now cancer accounts for approximately 23% of deaths in the United States(Hoyert, Kochanek & Murphy, 1999).

Bagsidetekst:”Jeg var glad og sorgløs. Jeg havde store drømme. Jeg var parat til at kaste mig over hele verden. Jeg var fuld af eventyrlyst, energi og begejstring for livet. Jeg var opsat på at gøre mit allerbedste indenfor alt, hvad jeg foretog mig. Jeg var ung, og jeg var lykkelig. Jeg havde relativt let ved næsten alt, hvad jeg foretog mig, så jeg satte ingen grænser for mig selv. Alting syntes muligt.”Men det fortsætter ikke. Alt forandrer sig på et øjeblik. Eventyrlysten, energien og begejstringen for livet forsvinder som dug for solen.Mit liv kollapser.

Die Unterstützung alter Menschen in Deutschland durch Betreuungskräfte aus Osteuropa ist zu einer bekannten und beliebten Versorgungsform geworden. Trotz ihrer großen Verbreitung beinhaltet sie viele Schwachstellen hinsichtlich der pflegerischen Qualität, der arbeitsrechtlichen Gestaltung und der ethischen Verantwortung für die Beteiligten. Ansätze zu veränderten Gestaltungsformen kommen von wissenschaftlicher (sozial-)ethischer Seite sowie vom Bundesverband Diakonie Deutschland. Sie favorisieren einen Mix verschiedener Akteur:innen: professionelle Pflege, pflegende Angehörige und verantwortungsbewusste Agenturen. Das Buch zeigt bestehende Probleme auf und benennt denkbare Lösungsstrategien. Es verbindet wissenschaftliche Grundlagen mit praxisorientiertem Vorgehen. Mit Flexibilität und Bereitschaft zu neuer Aufgabenverteilung kann das häusliche Pflegesetting gestaltet werden.

Throughout the history of Western philosophy, events have most often been assigned a secondary or derivative status with respect to substances or subjects, which are taken to underwrite them. An event, for instance, is understood to be a modification of the attributes of a substance. Linguistically, this framework is replicated in our grammar: a sentence begins with a subject and a predicate, while an event is represented as a change in predicate. However, since the 1930s, a number of philosophers have argued that no ontology can be sufficient without assigning events a primary, fundamental, and ontologically positive status in their own right.1 Remarkably, many have further argued that no ontology can be sufficient without assigning being an evental nature itself.2 In other words, they have advanced what I will call "evental ontologies." Many of the central texts arguing for evental ontologies are exceptionally difficult to interpret, and this is often a result of the way their arguments undermine the technical vocabulary of the tradition and its grammar built around subject predication. As a consequence, the reasons for taking such a position are frequently glossed over in relevant scholarship, which opts for either uncritical adoption of the terminology of evental ontologies or the dismissal of them on the grounds of their conceptual obscurity and seeming contrivance.

Dies ist ein Open-Access-Buch.Trotz des schnellen Wachstums des Anteils der Bevölkerung in einem Alter ab 80 Jahren an der Gesamtbevölkerung ist das Wissen über diese Bevölkerungsgruppe bislang gering. Zwar gibt es thematisch, methodisch und regional spezifische Studien, jedoch keine repräsentative Erfassung der Lebenssituation und Lebensqualität dieser Altersgruppe für den gesamtdeutschen Raum. Eine gute Datenlage ist jedoch notwendig: Zum einen, um den besonderen Unterstützungsbedarfen im hohen Alter zukünftig besser gerecht werden zu können. Zum anderen, um Lösungsansätze für sozialpolitische Herausforderungen wie der sozialen Sicherung im Alter sowie im Hinblick auf eine Generationengerechtigkeit entwickeln zu können. Schließlich, um negativen Altersbildern und Vorurteilen über die Lebensqualität im hohen Alter empirisch fundiert entgegenwirken zu können. Die Studie "Hohes Alter in Deutschland¿ (D80+) ist eine bundesweit repräsentative Querschnittsbefragung der hochaltrigen Menschen in Privathaushalten und in Heimen. Sie wird vom Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (BMFSFJ) gefördert und gemeinsam vom Cologne Center for Ethics, Rights, Economics, and Social Sciences of Health (ceres) und dem Deutschen Zentrum für Altersfragen (DZA) durchgeführt. Die Studie vereint Perspektiven der an den beteiligten Institutionen verorteten Disziplinen wie Soziologie, Psychologie, Versorgungswissenschaften, Gerontologie und Medizin. Im vorliegenden Band werden zentrale Befunde u.a. zu den Themenbereichen Soziale und Digitale Teilhabe, Gesundheit und Versorgung, sowie Werte und subjektives Wohlbefinden vorgestellt.

Sygeplejersker i den primære sundhedssektor skal i stigende grad kunne håndtere, pleje og behandle borgere med vanskelige sundhedsfaglige problemstillinger. Det sker fordi flere og flere borgere behandles i eget hjem eller på institutioner uden for sygehusene. Samtidig er sygeplejen inden for den primære sundhedssektor kendetegnet ved, at samarbejdet mellem sektorer og institutioner er under konstant forandring. På den måde opstår nye samarbejdsflader mellem institutioner og andre aktører, hvilket stiller store krav til sygeplejerskernes forståelse af de rammer, de arbejder indenfor. I bogen får du en indføring i de rammer, vilkår og udfordringer, som knytter sig til feltet vedrørende sygepleje i den primære sundhedssektor. Bogen bidrager med perspektiver til at opnå dybere forståelse og refleksion over den komplekse virkelighed, som sygeplejersker i det nære sundhedsvæsen må agere i.
