Lived experiences of intensive care nurses in caring for critically ill patients.
Caring for critically ill patients requires competent nurses to help save and secure the lives of patients, using technological developments while maintaining humanistic care. Nepal is a developing country with limited advanced technologies and resources. It is important to understand nursing care for critically ill patients under these shortages. ⋯ Intensive care nurses need to enhance their knowledge and skills related to the use of technologies and patient care by attending training programs and gaining further education. This study recommends that hospital administrators should support sufficient facilities and technologies of care and, in particular, increase the competency of nurses in caring for critically ill patients as the whole person.
