Nursing Stories by Nicholas Eschenbruch

Nursing Stories by Nicholas Eschenbruch

Focusing on terminally ill people in a German hospice, this study addresses the question, how meaningful experience is constructed for these patients in an attempt to preserve their dignity as persons. It is based on material from diary texts and active participation of the author in the role of a nurse.

“Eschenbruch provides with Nursing Stories a fine and very reflexive ethnographic study of the peculiar social world [of the hospice]…and an explanatory model of the predominant conditions”   ·  Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale

Nicholas Eschenbruch read Modern History and Middle Eastern Studies in Freiburg, Germany, Oxford and Istanbul.
