AbstractThis portion of a study, first published last month, examines the various aspects of dying (including the dying person's needs); looks introspectively at the spiritual aspect of death; and analyzes the behavior and attitudes of care-giving staff, their values, motivations and needs. While dying people may have unpredictable attitudes and behavior, nurses need to maintain an attitude of caring and communication in their interventions. Important to consider when nursing the dying are subjects such as: establishing a helping relationship; appropriate communication; and self-knowledge and preconceived notions. Criticism most often directed at palliative care suggests that curative and palliative care should be integrated; should abandon their reserved territories (such as care units); and should develop an association that goes beyond the terminal phase.
