The behavior of a physician when confirming the death of a patient is thought to greatly affect the bereaved family. The required aspects of a physician's behavior after a patient's death are rarely included in physician education. Therefore, the few physicians who confirm the death of a patient should be conscious of the grief of the family members. A questionnaire survey was administered to nurses of a palliative care unit, and the findings showed that the behavior of an attending physician was different from that of other physicians when confirming death. We have prepared a manual that specifies the expected behavior of physicians confirming the death of patients to ensure that physicians other than the attending physician are also conscious of subsequent grief care for the bereaved family.
人们认为医生在确认患者死亡时的行为会对丧亲家属产生极大影响。医生教育中很少包含患者死亡后医生行为的必要方面。因此，少数确认患者死亡的医生应该意识到家属的悲痛。对一家姑息治疗病房的护士进行了问卷调查，结果显示主治医生在确认死亡时的行为与其他医生不同。我们编写了一本手册，明确了确认患者死亡的医生的预期行为，以确保除主治医生外的其他医生也能意识到对丧亲家属后续的悲痛护理。
