Critical Care Nurses' Perceptions in End-of-Life Situations

Recognition of mortality by intensive care nurse It is estimated that 70% to 80% of the literature review population of Forsyth Technical Community College will die within the facility (Tan, Low, Yap, Lee, Pang, and Wu 2006). Most of them are in hospital environment. Intensive care nurses play an important role in the care of many of these patients. The literature outlined in this article includes research on three different but important approaches to the care of dying patients.

Intensive care unit (ICU) usually provides intensive care through complex or multiple interventions. Some of these patients are in a state of dying and require that they behave on behalf of their families. The forefront of patients in this group are ICUs or intensive care nurses who must provide quality care. In order to achieve this care, the nurse must communicate effectively with the patient's family. The experience of nurses who communicate with family members from multicultural and religious backgrounds and their experiences explaining the dying issues to their families will help to understand ICU nurse's current practice and study It is worth it.

Providing hospice care for seriously ill patients or providing care to ICU patients is a challenge for intensive care nurses and ICU nurses. The first task is to communicate effectively with the family of patients with multicultural background and different religious backgrounds. Several authors (Burnard and Gill, 2009; Goldman et al., 2006; Sully and Dallas, 2005; Ellis et al., 2003) reported religious beliefs when care for patients in different health environments, including ICU environments And emphasizing the importance of respecting cultural sensitivity. Many of these patients need hospice care. Facing the reality of dying patients, families are recognized to experience a period of sorrow (Burnard and Gill, 2009). Therefore, providing care through effective communication is the most important for intensive care nurses.

The experience of intensive care nurses who communicate with their families during hospice care also clarifies similar issues. First, nurses believe that it is stressful to communicate with their families about the death of the brain stem and hospice care. In this case, the sense of stress is interpreted as a natural reaction (Treece, 2007). Many authors (Treece, 2007; Trovo de Araujo et al., 2004; Usher and Monkley, 2001) introduced intensive care nurses who are dissatisfied with job stress and those in intensive care units It is. The level of stress is directly proportional to the level of open communication between the nurse and the patient's family (Monkley, 2001). You can reduce your stress by nurses taking over their roles and lowering the urgency to get the best possible performance. This means choosing the best option for their dying patients.
