“…This is not visible in the data of the present study, concerning the focus on Rationale for Action, on Self-knowledge (99.8%) in particular, showing a total disregard for emotions, which have only 22 entries. Although there are several studies about nurses' experiences with the terminal patient (Brito et al, 2014;Lacerda et al, 2016;Lindolpho et al, 2016), this study adds a supporting analysis of the type of records kept during the dying process.…”

Background: Despite the changes over the last decade in nursing care, some concerns about the care practice in the process of dying remain. Objective: To analyze the focus documented by nurses during the dying process within the hospital context and to identify the differences in records relating to the focus valued in the different clinical areas. Methodology: As part of a larger research project called Living Death: the challenge of the nursing profession, this quantitative, descriptive, and retrospective documentary study was performed based on the analysis of 36,281 nursing actions documented by 1,270 nurses. Results: Of the 36,281 actions recorded, most of the documentation is related to Function (56.5%), followed by Person (43.5%), which shows an apparent disregard for the transitions experienced by patients within the context of death and the processes of dying. Conclusion: It is increasingly important to decentralize the attention of a practice that is predominantly focused on the biomedical component, in favor of care focusing on the experiences facing the imminence and inevitability of death.

“…The communicator respects the public as a rational being able to analyze, criticize and evaluate the transmitted message, instead of accepting it passively. 32 As it is a line of knowledge and care extremely multiple and distinct, able to articulate a large growing number of therapeutic methods, light technologies, eastern philosophies and religious practices, a knowledge and a special attention is required of the health team. 33 The role of the nurse is featured within this context, taking in consideration that it has a mission as an educator, a communicating agent and a propagator of the appropriate forms of use of non-conventional health practices.…”

“…Living experiences through the method reported here strengthens the group because the members are more familiar with each other, their pains, difficulties, and thus, they respect each other more, a benefit highlighted by the students at the end of the activity. Being alongside classmates does not always mean being together, but when there is opportunity to experience moments in which the difficulties and anxieties are raised and discussed together, the frailties of human beings emerge, and they are joined by possibilities of sharing strategies for their resilience, which contributes so that humanization of care can express itself through communication (14) . In this sense, the communication -base for human interaction -enables the exchange of information and extends the possibilities for mutual understanding (15) ; thus, the exercise of dialogue with colleagues in class on a mobilizing topic, which involves the senses of human existence, is a potential element to think about people under an existential perspective and the defense of life.…”
