The nursing care for patients who are pronounced brain-dead but kept alive to serve as organ donors demands technical-scientific skills and the ability to handle situations that are often in conflict with the traditional concepts of nursing care. Based on the phenomenological approach in this article, essential themes of the lived experience of caring for these patients, including the technical and specific nursing care, the relationship with organ donors and their families, and the nurses' perception of themselves in this professional situation are described. The results point to the contradictions and ambiguities of this type of nursing, especially in regards to the affective and philosophical aspects.
对于那些被宣告脑死亡但仍维持生命以作为器官捐赠者的患者的护理，需要技术科学技能以及应对常常与传统护理观念相冲突情况的能力。基于本文中的现象学方法，描述了护理这些患者的实际体验中的基本主题，包括技术和特定的护理、与器官捐赠者及其家属的关系，以及护士在这种专业情境中对自身的认知。结果指出了这类护理的矛盾和模糊之处，尤其是在情感和哲学方面。
