Nurses' experience of end‐of‐life care for patients with COVID‐19: A descriptive phenomenology study
The mortality rates among critically ill patients with COVID‐19 have been high. The national and institutional infection control policies and resource shortages caused by the pandemic led patients to undergo deaths without dignity and inevitably changed intensive care unit (ICU) end‐of‐life care (EOLC) practices. This study explores ICU nurses' experiences of providing EOLC for patients with COVID‐19 who died. Eight nurses participated in a qualitative phenomenological study. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted from July to September 2022. Colaizzi's data analysis method was used, and the following four main themes emerged: (i) only companion in the death journey; (ii) helping families prepare for death; (iii) EOLC trapped within a framework; and (iv) EOLC in retrospect. To secure high‐quality EOLC in ICU, it is important to promote practical support for nurses and EOLC‐related discussions/education. Technical support, such as digital communication technologies, should be reinforced to help patients and their families participate in EOLC.
