Self-esteem and hospice: applying principles to practice.
Maintenance of a healthy degree of self-esteem is essential to the goal of helping patients and their significant others to live as fully as possible. It is important for hospice caregivers to be aware of factors which tend to diminish self-esteem in hospice care recipients as well as in themselves. A knowledge of basic principles about self-esteem and the application of interventions based on these principles can aid in the preservation and enhancement of self-esteem in hospice caregivers and recipients.
