Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study aimed to identify ICU nurses¡®experiences with patient care after death.
Methods: The data were collected through two focus group interviews with eight nurses who had experienced the death of patients in the ICU. Giorgi¡¯s method of descriptive phenomenology was used to interpret the data.
Results: Five constituents and 14 subconstituents were extracted from the 68 units of meaning. The five constituents were as follows: respect the body as a person, consideration and support for the family, dichotomy between personal courtesy and performing tasks, overcoming the patient¡¯s death and growing, and care after death: a unique role left to the nurse.
Conclusion: These findings illuminate the meaning of care after death as a continuation of person-centered care and can be used as primary data for the development of organizational, educational, and emotional support for nurses to accomplish their roles in the ICU.
