Research Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' practice and recognition about end-of-life care for elderly people with dementia living in aged care facilities, as well as families' care burden and needs. Families' care burden after admission to the facilities was recognized as being lower by nurses than by families, suggesting that nurses may not regard family care after admission as important. In aged care facilities, therefore, practical capacity building of end-of-life care by nurses may be required for meeting families' needs such as providing the opportunity of participating in care.
