With a clinical background in palliative and hospice care, her interests across research and nursing education include relational ethics, embodiment through strong emotion and uncertainty, and contemplative approaches to practice. Lacie seeks to draw on emergent narrative and arts-based methods to explore the more intangible aspects of experience. Contributors Anne Bruce is a Professor with the University of Victoria, School of Nursing. Anne's approaches to research and teaching invite students into the in-between spaces of our professional and personal lives. Her research interests include experiences with medical assistance in dying, living with fatal chronic conditions, and the power of storytelling in health and healing. She teaches in the MN-Advanced Practice Nursing and PhD programs where she witnesses how nursing research can inspire, transform, and generate life-long passions. Christine McPherson is a Registered Nurse and psychologist who attained her Ph.D. from King's College, London (UK). She is an Associate Professor in the School of Nursing at the University of Ottawa, where she teaches research, palliative care, and ethics.

Rezensionen
'Lacie White's book is a portable support group for healthcare professionals. White presents her research not as impersonal findings, but as living voices of nurses who speak us as we walk through the labyrinth that structures her book. Thus instead of telling how to practice, White offers companionship in bearing the emotional and physical burdens of end-of-life care. The book can be read continuously or dipped into for moments of insight into compassionate care. Read either way, White evokes mindfulness rather than seeking to define it. Palliative Care Nursing as Mindfulness makes its readers more mindful as we walk its labyrinth.'

-Arthur W. Frank, Ph.D., FRSC, author of The Wounded Storyteller and Letting Stories Breathe.

'With the first words of Dr. White's book "Listen. I have a story to tell", you will be swiftly swept into a journey that both opens minds and possibilities. In an artful and innovative way, she composes her writing like a labyrinth so that you are drawn into a sense of mindfulness about palliative care nursing. Her book is the epitome of how to experiment and play with one's writing - it advances the field of arts-based research in ways that I have not seen before.'

-Dr. Jennifer Lapum, Professor, Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing, Ryerson University, Canada

'Lacie White beautifully weaves together storytelling, mindfulness, and the power of authentic connection in palliative care nursing. Powerful reminder of the joy and meaning of being a nurse, especially in caring for those in the last phase of their lives.'

-Susan Bauer-Wu, PhD, RN, FAAN, author of Leaves Falling Gently: Living Fully with Serious & Life-Limiting Illness through Mindfulness, Compassion, & Connectedness, and president of the Mind & Life Institute
