Family Resilience Habitus:A Theoretical Tool for Understanding the Cultural context of Terminal Illness Disclosure
As a crucial element in the terminal phase,the disclosure of illness profoundly influences the family dynamics during patients'end-of-life period.By integrating the theories of family resilience and Bourdieu's habitus,the paper proposes an explanatory framework for family resilience practices.Through the presentation and analysis of three typical cases,it becomes clear that the disclosure of terminal illness status is an important element embedded in the family's overall practice of facing the pressures of life and death.The resources,organizations,and belief systems inherent in family resilience habitus are not only evident during the disclosure of illness status,but also vividly reflect the family's historical resource conditions and power dynamics.Throughout the entire end-of-life care process,these elements consistently play a significant role.Family resilience habitus reflects the practical inertia of families under stress,characterized by its holistic,historical,and expressive nature.This theoretical perspective aims to encourage various stakeholders in end-of-life events to associate local family values with the disclosure of terminal illness status,uncovering internal family strengths and promoting cultural awareness surrounding the disclosure of terminal illness.
