Death is a natural part of life, which mostly occurs in the ER. This study described the meaning of nurses' lived experience of caring for critical and dying patients in the ERs. In this qualitative study, 13 nurses who was purposefully selected. Data were collected using in-depth individual interviews. Data analysis used van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological approach. The experiences of caring for the dying patient were divided into two parts: experiences in patients with acute and chronic problems. In patients with acute problems, four themes were extracted: fight to the death, no time for palliative and spiritual care, lacking support for the family, no privacy for peaceful death. In patients with acute problems, four themes were extracted: Facilitating a peaceful death, Allocating time for palliative and spiritual care, support for the family, Attention to privacy. Therefore, attention should be paid to the fields of care and its inadequacies.
死亡是生命的自然组成部分，大多发生在急诊室。本研究描述了护士在急诊室护理重症和濒死患者的生活经历的意义。在这项定性研究中，有目的地挑选了13名护士。通过深入的个人访谈收集数据。数据分析采用范曼的诠释现象学方法。护理濒死患者的经历分为两部分：急性问题患者的经历和慢性问题患者的经历。在急性问题患者中，提取了四个主题：殊死搏斗、无暇进行姑息和精神护理、家庭缺乏支持、无法安静离世。在慢性问题患者中，提取了四个主题：促成安详离世、分配时间进行姑息和精神护理、支持家庭、关注隐私。因此，应关注护理领域及其不足之处。
