“…These results are very similar to those reported by Ko and Kim [18], and indicate that the nurses had a high ability to understand and express their own emotions and to understand and receive other's emotions, but were less able to utilize emotions for constructive activities and personal performance and to overcome and control psychologically disturbing situations. In a study by Kang and Bang [26] on NICU nurses' experiences with EOL infant care, many nurses reported that they did not know how to cope with grieving parents and that they responded passively. This could be seen as a lack of the ability to utilize or control emotions in psychologically disturbing situations, such as having to face death.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of perceptions of death, end-of-life (EOL) care stress, and emotional intelligence on attitudes toward EOL care among nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: The participants were 111 nurses working in a NICU who had experienced EOL care at least once. Data were analyzed using the t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis in SPSS for Windows. Results: The mean score for perceptions of death was 3.16 out of 5, the mean score for EOL care stress was 3.61 out of 5, the mean emotional intelligence score was 4.66 out of 7, and the average score for EOL care attitudes was 2.77 out of 4. The factors affecting attitudes towards EOL care were academic degree, anxiety regarding death, negativity towards death, experiences of patient death, and emotional intelligence. The explanatory power of these variables for attitudes towards EOL care was 24.7%. Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to serve as a basic reference for the development of nursing education programs and EOL care protocols to improve attitudes toward EOL care among NICU nurses.

“…For example, newly graduated nurses visited patients less frequently during end-of-life care, 24 and neonatal intensive care unit nurses compartmentalized their emotions and mentally focused on work when caring for terminally ill patients. 25 In addition, nurses experienced more emotional distress when a critically ill patient was young or the nurse had developed a close relationship with them. 26 Similarly, most current participants also tried to avoid the death of patients if they had been close to them.…”

How Do Oncology Nurses Cope With the Psychological Burden of Caring for Dying Patients?

et al. 2022

BackgroundCancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and most patients with cancer in South Korea die in hospitals. Oncology nurses experience physical, emotional, and occupational challenges associated with the psychological burden of caring for dying patients.ObjectiveThis study explored the coping strategies used by oncology nurses to deal with the psychological burden of patient deaths.MethodsIn this descriptive qualitative study, 10 oncology nurses who had recently experienced a patient’s death were recruited via snowball sampling. All were female, with a mean age of 32.9 years (range, 27–44 years), and their mean working duration was 9.9 (range, 3-23) years. Participants were interviewed individually face-to-face 3 times, with each interview lasting 1 to 1.5 hours.ResultsOncology nurses coped with the psychological burden of a patient’s death in the following 4 ways: (a) avoiding patient deaths to the extent possible, (b) reflecting upon the meaning of life and death, (c) suppressing their emotional distress over the patient’s death, and (d) becoming kinder and more caring toward people around them.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that oncology nurses struggle to cope with the psychological burden of patient deaths. Oncology nurses are affected both negatively and positively by experiencing death as they provide end-of-life care.Implications for PracticeOncology nurses need education or counseling to reduce the psychological burden of caring for dying patients with cancer. Hospital administrators need to continuously identify ways to reduce the psychological burden of oncology nurses providing end-of-life care.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify a theoretical basis of end-of-life care by examining attributes of the concept of the nurses' acceptance of patient deaths. Methods: Walker and Avant's approach to concept analysis was used. A literature study was performed to check the usage of the concept. To identify the attributes of the concept and come up with an operational definition, we analyzed 16 qualitative studies on nurses' experiences of death of patients, published in a national science magazine from 1999 to 2015. Results: The nurses' acceptance of death of patients was identified as having four attributes: acceptance through mourning, attaining insight on life and death while ruminating life, facing with fortitude and practicing human dignity. Antecedents of the concept were experiences of patient's death, confusion and conflict, negative emotions, passive responses, denial of patients' death. The consequences of the concept were found as the holistic end-of-life care and active pursuit of life. Conclusion: This study on the attributes of the concept of the nurses' acceptance of death of patients and it's operational definition will likely lay the foundation for applicable end-of-life care mediations and theoretical development.
