5 This model is built around three concepts or beliefs learned from caring for dying patients and their families:  We live and die as multidimensional beings...having physical dimensions, spiritual dimensions, social/emotional dimensions.  No dimension exists or functions alone....when one dimension changes, it affects other dimensions.  When we pay attention to all dimensions and this dynamic relationship between them, we can then best affect quality of life closure for dying patients and their families.

His wife can’t stand watching his suffering.....feeling helpless to change it.....asking God, “Why are you allowing him to suffer?”....Spiritual dimension Since he can no longer care for himself independently she is doing all his personal care and is becoming exhausted....Physical dimension She is no longer able to rationalize his angry outbursts and lashes back at him....Interpersonal dimension When she does stop to think about his suffering, she feels guilty for lashing out and feels like she is so inadequate. How could she blame him?....Well-being dimension The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast and VITAS Healthcare Corporation

14 How does an issue/problem/opportunity for growth affect the patient/family quality of life closure?
Physical pain (physical). This not allowing the patient to get out of bed (functional).
