Barriers to psychological care of the dying.
Open accessAbstract
Direct observation of doctors and nurses talking with real, stimulated, or role played patients suffering from a terminal illness has shown that they consistently use distancing tactics. These prevent them getting close to their patients' psychological suffering and are used to try to ensure their own emotional survival. Since these tactics discourage patients from disclosing their psychological concerns they are a serious barrier to effective psychological care. If those concerned in terminal care are to risk relinquishing these distancing tactics they will need better selection, more appropriate training, regular psychological support, and real opportunities for taking time out.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
