“…In this study, the nurses described the competence required for this skill, but the support was mainly conducted via physical means and organising the environment rather than offering mental or spiritual support. According to previous studies, nurses need competence to support patients and family, especially mentally and emotionally (23,26,29) by being present and listening (26,29). It was noticed in this study, as well as previous ones, that the requirement for patient psychological support is recognised, but nurses lack the competence and resources to offer support other than in a physical fashion.…”

“…In the case of EOL care, the role of the nurse is to ensure that the needs of the patient and their family are taken into account (25) and stand for the patient in decision-making (26). Nurses also need the competence to provide mental and emotional support for the patient and family (23,26,29), addressing their practical needs and allowing the patient's family to participate in the patient's care, and being present for the patient and listening (26,29). In addition, nurses need the competence to cooperate and organise care by disseminating information and coordinating patient care, arranging meetings and consulting with other professionals (18,19).…”

Background Studies of nurses’ required competence in EOL care in health centres are rare. It is important to produce information about experienced nurses’ perceptions of the competence they consider important in their practical work. Aim The aim of this study was to describe nurses’ required competence in EOL care in health centre inpatient wards as experienced by nurses. Method A descriptive qualitative study using four semi‐structured group interviews (20 nurses) and inductive descriptive content analysis. Results Five categories describing nurses’ required competence in EOL care in a health centre inpatient ward were identified: (1) ethics and courage in action, (2) support for the patient, (3) support for the family, (4) care planning and (5) physical care. Factors promoting nurses’ competence in EOL care comprised two categories: (1) professional development in EOL care and (2) an organisation that supports EOL care. Conclusions End‐of‐life care in health centre inpatient wards requires wide and complex competence from nurses. Nurses’ experiences of required competence are associated with holistic care of the patient, encountering the family and multiprofessional cooperation. Nurses’ competence in EOL care could be enhanced with postgraduate education, and educational planning should be given more attention in the future.

“…This communication which is associated with respect, forms a reliable supporting relation between the patient receiving palliative care and the care-provider, and this will eventually help calm the patient [47]. Additionally, other studies have noted that when palliative care providers have a reliable and respectful relationship with their patients, they can understand patients' stress and pain as well as that of their families, and hence they can support them better during the difficult times when they may encounter challenges during their treatment [48,49]. Seccareccia et al have also mentioned the significance of developing a respectful relation with the patient as a higher level of valuing them, and states that this will induce a sense of belong in the patients making them more receptive to their treatment [50].…”

Inducing a sense of worthiness in patients: the basis of patient-centered palliative care for cancer patients in Iran

Background Patient-centered care is one of the main components in providing palliative care for cancer patients. This issue has been the subject of numerous studies and practices in nursing for many years. Few studies, however, have explored the perception of nurses about patient-centered treatments. This study aimed at exploring the perception of care-providers about offering patient-centered care to cancer patients. Method For attaining that aim, 18 care-providers were purposefully selected for an interview which allowed the researchers to explore the enriched experiences of these participants about offering patient-centered palliative care to cancer patients. After transcribing the recorded data, analysis was carried out based on Graneheim and Lundman’s method of content analysis. The research was qualitative in nature and conducted in 2019 in Iran. Results From content analysis, 3 main categories; considering patient’s spirituality, maintaining patient’s dignity during care, and reducing patient’s suffering, were found. The essence of these categories reflect on the care-providers’ consideration and effort in “inducing a sense of worthiness” in patients by providing patient-centered care. These categories also reflect on the perspective of care-providers about nurse- patient relationship for providing high qualified palliative care. Conclusion For providing patient-centered care inducing a sense of worthiness in patients, is the most fundamental component in providing palliative care to cancer patients. Therefore, by considering the structures and settings where the care is to be provided in the healthcare system, it is possible to direct the necessary educational, research, and administrative programs related to inducing a sense of worthiness in patients towards providing a more effective palliative care.

<p>El objetivo principal de este artículo es describir el estado del arte sobre la percepción del cuidado de enfermería a pacientes oncológicos hospitalizados. Para esto, se hizo una revisión integrativa realizada en 16 bases de datos entre 1994 y 2014, teniendo en cuenta los descriptores percepción, relación enfermero-paciente, hospitalización y oncología, con sus respectivas traducciones al inglés y orientada por el descriptor boleano AND. Se encontraron de esta manera 52 publicaciones sobre la relación enfermera-paciente oncológico hospitalizado; asimismo, se evidenció que estas han ido en incremento, particularmente en la última década. La mayor parte de las publicaciones son de tipo cualitativo, revisiones o reflexiones. Al revisar en conjunto la productividad académica, se identificaron múltiples formas de abordar esta relación desde el punto de vista conceptual; sin embargo, parece ser su condición de reciprocidad la que resulta más enriquecedora para las partes, lo que permite que los sujetos que intercambian en medio del cuidado de la vida cuando se tiene un cáncer crezcan como personas y ganen en introspección. Así pues, la relación enfermera-paciente con cáncer hospitalizado es un punto central para poder comprender y cualificar las prácticas de cuidado de esta población. Se hace necesario desarrollar estrategias de medición y cualificación de esta interacción. </p>
