<b>Background</b><br></br><br></br>
End of life care is high on policy and political agendas in the UK and internationally.
Nurses are at the forefront of this care, caring for dying patients, and ‘managing’
the dead body, and dealing with the corporeal, emotional and relational dimensions
of death. Little is known about their prior or early professional experiences of and
reactions to death, dying and the corpse and how these might influence practice.
<br></br><br></br><b>Aims</b><br></br><br></br>
To appraise the international literature on nurses’ early experiences of death, dying
and the dead body, to better understand how these might influence subsequent practice,
and how this might inform our teaching of death, dying and last offices.
<br></br><br></br><b>Design</b><br></br><br></br>
A scoping review was undertaken of peer-reviewed publications between 2000 – 2019
which included hospital, care home, and in the community. Medline, PubMed, PsychINFO
and CINAHL databases were searched and 23 papers meeting the inclusion criteria were
read.
Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) five stage approach was adopted to scope the relevant
international literature, using where relevant the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Selected papers were independently reviewed
and subjected to thematic analysis leading to the generation of five overarching themes.
<br></br><br></br><b>Results</b><br></br><br></br>
The five themes were: Different philosophies of care, Relationships, Knowledge, Impact
of death, and Giving care. The studies came from diverse geographical locations across
different settings and were primarily qualitative in design.
<br></br><br></br><b>Conclusions</b><br></br><br></br>
Students and registered nurses are impacted both positively and negatively by their
early encounters with death and dying. Good communication with patients, families
and between professionals, understandings of what constitutes a ‘good’ death, and
high-quality mentorship and support were of particular importance. |
