Description

“Is It Worth It? I Don’t Know…” is one of 14 brief vignettes from Defining Hope, a 78-minute film that follows patients, their families and caregivers, and the nurses that guide them as they face death, embrace hope, and ultimately redefine what makes life worth living. A study guide was developed to stimulate audience reflection, conversation, and interaction with the purpose of advancing expertise in end-of-life-care nursing practice. This guide highlights the video segments so that viewers can watch single segments of the film focused on particular topics. It also suggests courses (nursing or other) and other care settings where educators may find value by embedding a particular segment into a curriculum to highlight a point. The study guide recommends End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) modules where ELNEC educators may find value by embedding a particular segment into their curriculum.
