<b>Background:</b><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, caring for dying patients, ‘managing’ the dead
body, and dealing with the corporeal, emotional and relational dimensions of death.
Little is known about nurses' prior or early professional experiences of and reactions
to death, dying and the corpse and how these might influence practice.<br></br>
<b>Aims:</b><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>
<b>Methods:</b><br></br>
A scoping review was undertaken of peer-reviewed publications between, 2000 and 2019,
which included nurses working in hospital, care homes and 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>
<b>Results:</b><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>
<b>Conclusions:</b><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, understanding of what constitutes a ‘good’ death, and high-quality
mentorship and support were of particular importance. |
