Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research was to clarify the correlation between <the way nurses understand "patient death" (=A)>, <the kind of care that a nurse was felt difficult to provide (=B)> and <behavioral patterns (=C)>. As a result, we have discovered that there is the correlation between A, B, and C. We have thus concluded that it is impossible to communicate adequately with the patient when the nurse is viewing only a negative aspect of the "patient death," and consequently there is a need for the kind of follow-up that will allow the nurse to view the patient death from various perspectives.
