Der demografische Wandel hat massive Auswirkungen auf die Situation in den stationären Pflegeeinrichtungen. Diese stehen vor der Herausforderung, als "Orte höchster Pflege- und Versorgungsintensität" immer mehr alte und sterbende Menschen auf ihrem letzten Lebensabschnitt begleiten zu wollen und dabei die Würde jedes einzelnen zu wahren. Ulrike Christine Schleinschok widmet sich diesem Spannungsfeld, indem sie folgenden zentralen Fragen nachgeht: • Was kann zu einer Verbesserung der Pflege- und Lebensqualität von Pflegebedürftigen beitragen? • An welchen Handlungsleitlinien orientieren sich Pflegende? • Welche impliziten Werte werden durch die Systeme vermittelt, in denen Pflegende agieren bzw. interagieren? • Wie beeinflussen sich Persönliches und Systemisches?
Expert:innen aus der spezialisierten Palliativ- und Intensivpflege arbeiten tagtäglich mit sterbenden Menschen, versorgen Verstorbene und begleiten deren Angehörige. Um handlungsfähig zu sein und zu bleiben, greifen sie auf ein spezielles Wissen zurück. Manfred Baumann geht diesem auf den Grund, indem er narrative Interviews führt und auswertet. Pflegende aus dem Intensiv- und Palliativbereich berichten ihm von belastenden und bedrängenden Situationen, die sie nicht vergessen können und in "Gegenerzählungen" des guten Begleitens und schönen Abschieds einbetten. So werden implizite und explizite Strategien im Sprechen und Handeln sichtbar, die die Pflegenden zu einem guten beruflichen und privaten Umgang mit dem Thema befähigen

Like every pedagogical field, the fields of aesthetics, arts and cultural education have been confronted with various transformational dynamics in recent decades. Transformation processes such as globalization, digitization or transculturalization not only characterize a change in social and cultural framework conditions, but also lead to changes in self-understanding, working methods, contents, and objectives in the research of these educational fields. The anthology "Spectra of Transformation" gathers a variety of perspectives on the question of the research on aesthetics, artistic and cultural education, which were discussed by international participants and speakers at the Winter School 2017 in Nuremberg.
