Hospice volunteer survey

Posted by Kremena Borislavova Kirilova on March 22, 2011 at 9:21am

I am a student at Kennesaw State University. We are conducting a survey regarding the hospice motivation, which can be useful for a better finding and training of hospice volunteers. The survey is approved by the IRB of the university. The survey is completely anonymously and voluntary. The survey will take 10 minutes of your time. If you are interested in participating you can click on the link bellow. Thank you very much for your time and help. Sincerely Kremena Kirilova

    My father used Hospice and no words can express how it helped our family during the transition from life to death..I want to give back to them and I think I am the one that is blessed even moreso than the patients.

    Kremena, I hope you will report your survey results on this forum. You might be interested in this post from my blog. The post is titled "Hospice Volunteer Research: How? What? Why?" These are open-ended questions that researchers at the University of Utah Department of Communication asked 351 hospice volunteers from 3 states.

by Rashani Rea & Kathy Douglas

Those who companion suffering daily, such as hospice nurses and volunteers, will surely appreciate this beautiful work. With 62 original art collages by Rashani Réa, five beautiful chapters by Kathy Douglas, and a foreword by Jean Watson, this exquisite book is a peaceful refuge for contemplation, inquiry, reflection and inspiration for those who traverse the joys and sorrows of nursing.

Kathy Douglas, RN, MPH-HA is a nationally recognized nurse leader, filmmaker and entrepreneur. 

Rashani Réa is a prolific artist and musician, a creatrice of sanctuaries and a respected spiritual mentor.

“This is a beloved book and beyond a book. It is an evocative, poetic, ecstatic, and inspirited sacred, experiential calling. A calling to you--YES, YOU.” 

— Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, Living Legend (AAN)

“Those who companion suffering daily need to turn inward to metabolize what they have witnessed. This exquisite book, filled with beautiful images and poetic wise words, is the inspiration and support needed to grow a wise heart.” 

— Frank Ostaseski, founder and director of the Metta Institute and author of The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully

“In this unique time of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book should be considered a tribute to the tremendous courage being displayed by nurses around the world. There is much wisdom conveyed throughout by those who have been there serving others with such grace.” 

— Greg Schneider President, HVA, co-author of The Changing Face of Hospice Volunteering in Hospice and Palliative Care
