The aim of the study was to know the witnessing of death from the perspective of the cancer patient in the hospital environment.
This is a qualitative and descriptive study, which was carried out in a cancer hospital in southern Brazil, with 27 cancer patients, through semi-structured interview, after the institutional research ethics committee approval. For categorisation and data analysis, Iramuteq software and Creswell content analysis were used.
Six classes emerged from the Iramuteq software and four categories were formed: (1) The reflection of the other itself; (2) feelings and emotions aroused; (3) the witnessing of a peaceful death and (4) death as a habitual event.
Patients felt sad and distressed, and some perceived death as something natural, often necessary for the relief of suffering. They put themselves in the place of the dying patient and their family members, imagining their loved ones and the suffering they would experience. Participants considered peaceful deaths to be good, unlike those in which patients had some kind of discomfort, described as horrible, distressing, sad and bad.
本研究旨在从癌症患者的角度了解医院环境中死亡的见证情况。
这是一项定性描述性研究，在巴西南部的一家癌症医院对27名癌症患者进行，经机构研究伦理委员会批准后，通过半结构化访谈进行。使用Iramuteq软件和克雷斯韦尔内容分析法进行分类和数据分析。
Iramuteq软件得出六个类别，并形成了四个范畴：（1）他人自身的反思；（2）引发的感受和情绪；（3）平静死亡的见证；（4）死亡是一种常见事件。
患者感到悲伤和痛苦，一些人将死亡视为自然之事，往往是缓解痛苦所必需的。他们设身处地为濒死患者及其家人着想，想象自己所爱的人以及他们将经历的痛苦。参与者认为平静的死亡是好的，而那些患者有某种不适的死亡则被描述为可怕、痛苦、悲伤和糟糕。
