SUMMARY:Continuing Education—Ambiguous Loss: Understanding the Implications for Hospice and Palliative Care Practice
DESCRIPTION:Completion of this GSS class will result in the receipt of one and one-half (1.5) continuing education hours. \nThis interactive presentation will describe the concept of ambiguous loss and illustrate how it shows up in hospice and palliative social work practice. Case examples and considerations for clinical intervention\, organizational policy\, and social work interprofessional practice will be shared. \nAmbiguous loss is a particular kind of grief in which resolution is not possible. It requires a focus on coping. This presentation will offer an overview of the theory and concepts as described by Pauline Boss\, Ph.D. and others\, and discuss particular considerations for hospice and palliative social work practice. Clinical situations\, including brain death\, life-altering diagnoses\, and progressive losses over the course of serious illness involve ambiguous loss for patients and their families\, caregivers\, and others. Because the loss continues to occur and remains unresolved\, learning to cope with the new situation becomes the focus. Certain situations\, for example\, brain death\, can engender ambiguous loss and\, if not addressed\, can create barriers to effective end-of-life care. Organizational policies around end-of-life care can be influenced by a better understanding of how ambiguous loss manifests and best practices for addressing it through interprofessional interventions. Case examples and interactive lecture will be used to enhance our understanding of how ambiguous loss shows up in practice and how social workers can intervene around this important issue.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education — Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking: A Widely Available\, Lesser-Known End-of-Life Option
DESCRIPTION:Completion of this class will result in the receipt of two (2) continuing education hours. \nMore patients are seeking to hasten their deaths by voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED) than by medical aid in dying (MAID). There are two main reasons for this development. First\, this end-of-life option has received significant media attention over the past few years (in books\, journal articles\, and obituaries). Second\, MAID\, which remains available in only twelve states\, patients need not wait for their state legislature to authorize VSED. Patients in every U.S. jurisdiction have the right to refuse any bodily intervention\, including oral nutrition and hydration. \nWhile VSED is legal and totally within the control of the patient themselves\, how should clinicians respond to requests to support the patient during this 8- to 14-day process? Which patients are eligible? Should clinicians apprise patients of this option without first being asked? And how exactly does VSED work? \nThis class addresses these issues as well as more complicated questions concerning VSED for incapacitated patients. Can patients request VSED in their advance directive? Can agents and surrogates request VSED for incapacitated patients without explicit direction from the patient herself? What if the incapacitated patient makes utterances or gestures indicating they now want water? How is VSED different from related approaches to nutrition and hydration such as Comfort Feed Only and Minimal Comfort Feeding?
