Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

AIM: To explore the experience of hope for bereaved palliative caregivers through participant hope diaries. DESIGN: A secondary analysis of hope diaries collected as part of a grounded theory study of hope and bereavement. SAMPLE AND SETTING: Twelve older women from a small Canadian city completed a hope diary. DATA ANALYSIS: Content analysis (Patton, 2002) was applied to describe and interpret the data. FINDINGS: Hope was a feeling of peace, courage, strength, and self-confidence that enabled them to face each day and look to the future with a positive outlook. Hindrances to hope were multiple losses, loneliness, and physical health concerns, which created an inner struggle for hope. Hope was fostered through positive thoughts, connections, and taking care. Writing in the diary affected their experience of hope. CONCLUSION: The diaries provide unique insight into their experience, suggesting practical ways to foster hope in bereavement.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
