Dignity is a concept that is widely discussed in relation to older adults. Achieving and maintaining dignity is thought to be a developmental task of old age, and important for wellness. Attributed dignity is a manifestation of human dignity that is sensitive to human interaction, including interventions by health care providers. Relational dignity was associated with changes in social roles. Recently, there has been a lot of attention focused on dignity at the end of life. Researchers have identified factors threatening the dying individual’s dignity, including frailty, dependence, and the need for physical care, adequate communication, and to leave a legacy. Dying individuals reported that dignity therapy was more beneficial than standard palliative care or client-centered care in supporting dignity at the end of life. Person-centered care that meets the specific needs, values, and beliefs of patients holds promise for supporting the dignity of older adults in care settings.
