“…When the factors affecting PTG in caregivers were analyzed by occupational groups, change of values and spiritual sublimation were influential factors among nurses and nursing assistants. This finding is consistent with that obtained by Pérez-Vega and Cibanal-Juan 22 in which the death of patients caused the nurses to reflect on life and death and re-establish the values of nursing.

“…An international study points out that the nurses' inclination to actions in this scenario of life finitude starts on what makes them move and act in the face of something they value as a means of profound pleasure, spiritual peace, and chances of self-realization (4) . It appears that these primary motivations, when well structured, lead these professionals to carry out their activities with greater technical autonomy, freedom of judgment, responsibility, and better ethical decision-making (5) .…”
