Description
Haiyang Lin and five co-authors study how care staff run goals-of-care talks in palliative wards. Their paper is from two thousand twenty-five. Such talks align care with what a patient wants and lift its quality, yet staff face hard binds in them. The team reads the work through the lens of a classic social theory of practice.
They interview doctors and nurses at five units in Guangzhou. Three themes emerge. The ward is a tense field of life stakes, ethics binds, and blurry roles. Staff draw on many forms of capital, from facts and funds to trust and calm. Shared habits mark the talks: risk shyness, soft words, and held-back feeling. The study gives steps to ease those binds.
