Abstract:In the last century, British psychologist D.W.Winnicott introduced the concept of the Transitional Object, revealing its significant role in alleviating infants separation anxiety from caregivers. Attachment to transitional objects not only allows infants to experience a sense of control over the "not-me" object but also guides them in integrating the external "not-me" world into their psychological development model. Based on long-term participant observation, this study finds transitional objects also appear in hospice care settings sometimes. The end-of-life stage can be viewed as a transitional state between life and death. Transitional objects serve to alleviate social role fragmentation, physical and psychological suffering, and death anxiety. This finding not only expands the application of transitional object theory, but more importantly, provides new theoretical perspectives and practical approaches for enhancing the quality of hospice care.
