Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Magi Sque studied nursing at Guy’s Hospital, London. Specialising in oncological nursing, she worked clinically for 17 years in UK and Canada. Supported by a British Department of Health Nursing Research Studentship she completed a PhD at the University of Southampton in 1996. This work explored the organ donation experiences of family members and the attitudes, knowledge and organ donation behavior of UK Registered nurses. She was a lecturer, for four years, at the European Institute of Health & Medical Sciences, the University of Surrey prior to joining the School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of Southampton as a Senior Lecturer in 2001. Her research is focused on issues that concern bereavement, organ donation, retention and transplantation, social constructions and concepts of the dying and dead body, the role of relatives and significant others in illness (particularly terminal illness trajectories), and the nature and quality of support given to them.
