Control theory in dying: What do we know?

Family Nurse Practitioner Tract, East Carolina University School of Nursing, Greenville, North Carolina

As we try to develop appropriate models for end-of-life care, it is important to review theoretical applications as they relate to current models of care. It is also vital to listen carefully to what patients and their family caregivers tell us about their needs at the end of life. This article explores the issue of control: its application to wellness at the end of life, and patient and family caregiver perceptions about end-of-life control. Interventions and implications for professional caregivers are proposed.
