abstract: 'An individual and psychological emphasis has influenced practice and
|
|
|
|
research on bereavement following informal care provision in the context
|
|
|
|
of life-limiting illness. Consideration of the potential for bereavement
|
|
|
|
to be shaped by intersecting social and structural inequities is needed;
|
|
|
|
and should include an understanding of interactions with government
|
|
|
|
institutions and social policy. This qualitative study employed
|
|
|
|
interpretive description to explore the way in which palliative care
|
|
|
|
workers and welfare sector workers perceive and approach experiences and
|
|
|
|
needs of bereaved carers receiving government income support or housing
|
|
|
|
assistance in Western Sydney, an area associated with recognised
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic disadvantage. A total of 21 palliative care workers within
|
|
|
|
a public health service and welfare workers from two government social
|
|
|
|
welfare services participated in in-depth interviews. Data were analysed
|
|
|
|
using framework analysis. Participants highlighted social welfare policy
|
|
|
|
and related interactions that may impact bereavement, potentially
|
|
|
|
related to financial, housing and employment precariousness. Personal,
|
|
|
|
interpersonal and structural factors perceived to shape the navigation
|
|
|
|
of welfare needs were explored, alongside needed professional and
|
|
|
|
structural changes envisioned by workers. With limited forms of capital,
|
|
|
|
vulnerably positioned carers may encounter difficulties that heighten
|
|
|
|
their precariousness in bereavement. Transactional organisational
|
|
|
|
cultures alongside health and welfare agencies that function in a siloed
|
|
|
|
manner appear to contribute to structural burden for carers, following
|
|
|
|
death due to life-limiting illness. Palliative care and welfare workers
|
|
|
|
also associated elements of their work with bereaved carers with their
|
|
|
|
own experiences of helplessness, frustration and distress. Findings
|
|
|
|
point to a need for the development of interagency strategies in
|
|
|
|
addition to policy underpinned by more nuanced understandings of
|
|
|
|
vulnerability in bereavement, post-caring.'
