Abstract

Background: Death is a natural part of life that no one can avoid. Listening to patients and supporting their needs during the dying process is crucial. However, dying patients are often not given a voice or choices regarding their care plans. Additionally, discussing death is difficult, even for those who consider themselves religious or have faith. Death is often avoided as a topic within the community, including the Christian community. Many people shy away from discussions about death and dying, as these topics are usually considered "taboo" and uncomfortable. Nurses' perspectives on a "peaceful death" can contribute to high-quality care and a good-quality death. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding a "peaceful death" from the nurses' perspective, particularly from Christian nurses in Indonesia.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of Christian nurses on a peaceful death in Indonesia.

Methods: The study employed a qualitative descriptive design conducted between January and April 2024. The study sample was recruited through the distribution of an e-flyer via social media. Interviews were conducted using six open-ended questions. All interviews were audiotaped and transcribed. Eighteen Christian nurses were interviewed, including three male and fifteen female nurses. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. The study was analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results: Three main themes were developed: 1) Components of a Peaceful Death, 2) Companionship and Care, and 3) Knowing the Final Destination.

Conclusion: This study identified key perspectives on a peaceful death from Christian nurses. Understanding these views will help nurses, particularly Christian nurses, provide optimal care and prepare patients to achieve a peaceful death. These perspectives will enrich nursing knowledge in providing end-of-life care to dying patients based on their beliefs.

印度尼西亚基督教护士对平静死亡的看法:定性研究。
背景介绍死亡是生命的自然组成部分,任何人都无法避免。在临终过程中,倾听病人的心声并支持他们的需求至关重要。然而,临终病人在护理计划方面往往没有发言权或选择权。此外,讨论死亡是一件困难的事情,即使对于那些自认为信教或有信仰的人来说也是如此。在社区(包括基督教社区)中,死亡往往是一个避而不谈的话题。许多人对死亡和临终的讨论避而远之,因为这些话题通常被视为 "禁忌 "和令人不舒服的话题。护士对 "平静死亡 "的看法有助于提供高质量的护理和高质量的死亡。然而,从护士的角度来看 "平静的死亡 "缺乏证据,尤其是印度尼西亚的基督教护士:本研究旨在探讨印度尼西亚基督教护士对平静死亡的看法:本研究采用定性描述设计,于 2024 年 1 月至 4 月间进行。研究样本是通过社交媒体发布电子传单招募的。访谈采用六个开放式问题。所有访谈均进行了录音和誊写。18 名基督教护士接受了访谈,其中包括 3 名男护士和 15 名女护士。参与者是通过有目的抽样选出的。研究采用主题分析法进行分析:形成了三大主题:1) 平安死亡的要素;2) 陪伴与关怀;3) 了解最终目的地:本研究确定了基督教护士对安详死亡的主要观点。了解这些观点将有助于护士,尤其是基督教护士提供最佳护理,并为患者实现安详死亡做好准备。这些观点将丰富护理知识,根据临终病人的信仰为其提供临终关怀。
