Spotlight Topic Introductions Pamela Kohlbry, PhD, RN, CNL, Professor, School of Nursing, and Director of University Relations and Research, the CSU Shiley Institute for Palliative Care Spotlight Topic Presentation 1 Providing End-of-Life Companionship through Technology during COVID-19 The No One Dies Alone program was first established to provide companionship and support to isolated patients who would otherwise die alone in the hospital. Volunteers serve as “compassionate companions” to help provide one of the most valuable human gifts: a dignified death. However, due to COVID-19, as hospitals have restricted visitors and family members may be ill or unable to travel. This presentation will describe creative solutions used by this group to provide meaningful support between isolated patients, their families, and volunteers while further cultivating students’ understanding of death and empathy. |
| 11:25 AM |
Spotlight Topic Presentation 2 From Anxiety to Equanimity: 4 Reflections to Practice Artful Gratitude In this program, Dr. Colfi will share how to confidently recognize, practice and implement short and simple gratitude activities for both our professional and personal lives. These supportive practices can be replicated and used to foster resilience in teams, patients, and families. |
