  • Music and Arts in Health Promotion and Death Education: the St Christopher’S Schools Project
    Music and Arts in Action | Volume 3 | Issue 2 Music and Arts in Health Promotion and Death Education: The St Christopher’s Schools Project GIORGOS TSIRIS, MARION TASKER, VIRGINIA LAWSON, GERRY PRINCE, TAMSIN DIVES, MICK SANDS AND ANDREW RIDLEY Arts Team | St Christopher's Hospice | UK* ABSTRACT The reality of death and dying is rarely discussed openly in modern Western societies, while death sometimes is even considered to be a ‘failure’ in the context of traditional, medically-focused healthcare systems. Similarly, loss and transition are part of the National School Curriculum in the UK, but many schools still find approaching these subjects difficult. In this context St Christopher’s hospice in London has initiated and delivered the ‘Schools Project’ since 2005. The St Christopher’s Schools Project is an innovative community arts programme. It takes the form of short-term collaborative arts projects between terminally ill patients and students from primary and secondary schools, as well as colleges within the hospice’s catchment area. The Schools Project has attracted the interest of many other hospices, as well as other healthcare institutions and inspired the development of similar projects, both nationally and internationally. The aim of the Schools Project is to introduce the hospice and its work to the school communities in a creative and non-threatening way. Within a structured framework students are given the opportunity to interact and engage in music and art making together with terminally ill patients, culminating in an exhibition or performance. Promoting healthier attitudes towards death and dying amongst the students, their teachers, school peers, parents and carers, is at the core of the project.

The aim of this study is to find out what experience older people have had with death education and the importance they give to health education. A qualitative methodological design was selected using a semi-structured interview. The survey consisted of interviews with 28 participants from the city of Granada (Spain) aged 61 to 78. This qualitative-descriptive study is based on an analysis of older people’s experience of education and preparation for death throughout their lives. The results show that, in most cases, the only information received was in childhood and always from a religious perspective. Death and health are closely related, so working on death education helps to improve the quality of life of elderly people.

  • Sunshine and Suicides in Japan: Revisiting the Relevance of Economic Determinants of Suicide*
    DE GRUYTER DOI 10.1515/cj-2013-0006 Contemporary Japan 2013; 25(2): 105–126 Ulrike Schaede Sunshine and Suicides in Japan: revisiting the relevance of economic determinants of suicide* Abstract: This paper investigates how exposure to sunshine affects the suicide rate in Japan, especially in relation to economic variables. Using prefecture- based data on socioeconomic variables for the years 1993–2009, the paper con- firms existing research in finding a significant correlation between suicides and unemployment, for both men and women. The interaction between sunshine and unemployment is also significant, and further analysis reveals that unem- ployment is not an important factor for suicide in high-sunshine prefectures, whereas in low-sunshine areas the effect of unemployment on the suicide rate rises. The divorce rate is highly significant and positive for men, but significant and negative for women, suggesting that many Japanese women consider divorce liberating. Current suicide research in Japan with its strong emphasis on economic variables may benefit from an inclusion of measures of general well-being.

Alternatives for Evaluating the Death Education Student J. Eugene Knott The University of Rhode Island Although grading in postsecondary education, according to Eison and Pollio (1987), dates back about 200 years, the formal pursuit of learning focused on human mortality per se has been a part of higher education for only about thirty years. In that brief period, however, has come a rapidly growing concern with issues of evaluating and grading, paired with con­ cern about motivation for enrollment in such courses in the first place. I've been very interested for some years in self-assessment as it bears on evaluation for grading, especially in courses where the content and ap­ proach encourage a great deal of self-disclosure and evaluation is likely to be highly subjective. The main question which intrigues me centers on whether adult stu­ dents given the option of choosing weights to be given to the various grad­ ing components in a course will use their self-knowledge to optimize their grades.

  • An Internationally Relevant Approach to Grief Counseling
    Journal for International Counselor Education 2011 Volume 3 25 Death Education: An Internationally Relevant Approach to Grief Counseling Elizabeth A. Doughty Idaho State University Wendy J. Hoskins University of Nevada, Las Vegas In the 21st century, counselors are faced with the challenge of assessing age old issues through a modern lens. In particular, today’s counselors provide grief related services to a growing number of global citizens each with their own “individual culture.” The purpose of this article is to overview the use of an international perspective in training counselors to work with issues of grief and to highlight the importance of integrating death education into the counseling curriculum. A brief overview of adaptive grieving styles and an internationally relevant approach for bereavement counseling is presented. Suggested reference: Doughty, E. A., & Hoskins, W. J. (2011). Death education: An internationally relevant approach to grief counseling. Journal for International Counselor Education, 3, 25-38. Retrieved from http://digitalcommons.library.unlv.edu/jice Keywords: Grief Counseling Death Education Grieving Styles eath is universal. However, the experience and expression of grief is individual, with both intrapersonal and interpersonal influences. D Counselors and counselors-in-training will certainly work with clients dealing with issues of grief and loss, yet it is possible that many may never take a course that addresses current conceptualizations and strategies for working with these issues (Wass, 2004). In addition, counselors and counselors-in-training need to prepare for clients coming in with a global perspective and array of experiences affecting their perceptions of bereavement. Astramovich and Pehrsson (2009) stated that “The new face of counselor education is international counselor education, a profession devoted to training and supervising counselors around the world” (p.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 412 480 CG 028 143 AUTHOR Mille, Nancy A. TITLE Death Education and Grief Counseling. PUB DATE 1997-00-00 NOTE 60p. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Reports General (140) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Counselor Attitudes; *Counselor Training; Death; Elementary Secondary Education; *Grief; *Pupil Personnel Services; *Pupil Personnel Workers; *School Counseling; School Counselors; Student Attitudes IDENTIFIERS *Grief Counseling ABSTRACT This paper explores ways in which school counselors can help young people with death-related concerns. It is often assumed that school counselors have the necessary skills for working with students who experience grief, but most graduate counseling curricula do not require courses in death education; thus, many counselors feel uncomfortable in helping clients deal with death-related concerns. Some of the topics covered in this paper include the changing face of school counseling and the need for counselors to be exposed to death education course work. Some topics for death education are described, along with a chapter-by-chapter analysis of the text "Death and Dying Life and Living," which looks at four different cultural.views of death. This text describes the four phases a person must work through and offers advice on how to help children and adolescents cope with issues surrounding dying and death. The paper then describes myths common to grief and mourning, such as the belief that grief and mourning are the same experience. Myths involving children's reactions to death are also examined. Suggestions for grief counseling are offered and ways in which to apply grief counseling principles are provided.

In the context of Italian educational initiatives, to remove this limitation, 215 high school students in Southern Italy were educated on death through conventional and informal lessons. The students answered a questionnaire with open questions to survey their emotional and reflective experiences. Their answers were qualitatively, thematically analysed to explore how the representation of death can follow a death education course, and if this experience can be managed without harmful effects. The students’ answers narrated how the course reduced their anxiety linked to these themes, on the one hand improving communication between peers by making it more authentic and empathic and, on the other, providing alternative perspectives on life. Indeed, the project offered an opportunity to discuss something strongly heartfelt but rarely faced, and the survey confirmed that the research objectives were fully achieved.
