Our world is rapidly becoming a global community, which creates a need to further understand the universal phenomena of death and professional caring for dying persons. This study thus was conducted to describe the meaning of nurses' experiences of caring for dying people in the cultural contexts of Iran and Sweden.
Using a phenomenological approach, phenomenon of caring for dying people was studied. Eight registered nurses who were working in oncology units in Tehran, Iran and eight registered nurses working in hospital and home care in North part of Sweden were interviewed. The interviews were analyzed using the principles of phenomenological hermeneutics.
THE FINDINGS WERE FORMULATED BASED ON TWO THEMES INCLUDED: (1) "Sharing space and time to be lost", and (2) "Caring is a learning process.
The results showed that being with dying people raise an ethical demand that calls for personal and professional response, regardless of sex, culture or context. The physical and organizational context must be supportive and enable nurses to stand up to the demands of close relationships. Specific units and teamwork across various personnel seem to be a solution that is missing in Iran.
我们的世界正迅速成为一个全球社区,这就需要进一步了解死亡这一普遍现象以及对临终者的专业关怀。因此,本研究旨在描述伊朗和瑞典文化背景下护士照顾临终者经历的意义。
采用现象学方法,对照顾临终者的现象进行研究。对伊朗德黑兰肿瘤病房工作的8名注册护士以及瑞典北部医院和家庭护理机构工作的8名注册护士进行了访谈。运用现象学诠释学原理对访谈进行分析。
研究结果基于两个主题得出:(1)“共享失去的时空”,(2)“关怀是一个学习过程”。
结果表明,陪伴临终者引发了一种伦理要求,需要个人和专业层面做出回应,无论性别、文化或背景如何。物理和组织环境必须提供支持,使护士能够应对亲密关系的需求。特定的科室以及跨不同人员的团队合作似乎是伊朗所缺乏的一个解决方案。
