Abstract
When providing end-of-life care, nurses are faced with challenges related to the dying process. Aesthetic concepts exert a more profound influence than empirical evidence or logical reasoning. However, while the aesthetic aspect in end-of-life care demonstrates the inherent beauty of nursing, there are few manifestations of aesthetics to express the professional challenges in end-of-life care as experienced by nurses.
