Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study aims to describe and explore the experiences of visiting nurses so as to providing high-quality end-of-life care at home.
Methods: Data was collected and recorded through in-depth interviews with 11 visiting nurses and transcribed verbatim. The data were analyzed with qualitative contents analysis. Data were collected from April 8 to July 30, 2021.
Results: The results revealed the following four themes and ten sub-themes: The main themes were ‘Dignified end-of-life caring practice at home’, ‘Providing integrated support of end-of-life family caregivers’, ‘Confronting the limits of visiting nursing at the end of life’ and ‘Reflection on life and feeling rewarded’. Visiting nurses have performed dignified end-of-life care at home and integrated support for family caregivers. Although the visiting nurse sometimes faced the limits of visiting nursing during end-of-life care, it was surveyed that they rewarded on their lives and felt rewarding through the end-of-life nursing experience.
Conclusion: Practical and systematic training is needed to positively change the end-of-life care of visiting nurses. We propose programs, such as expert counseling, to improve coping skills in end-of-life care practice at home. Additionally, we propose various institutional supports which can support the limitations of end-of-life care provision.
