We have witnessed increasing numbers of cases of COVID-19 and associated deaths worldwide. Therefore, the purpose of this descriptive and cross-sectional study was to determine the perception of a good death and the factors contributing to it by nurses caring for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU). It was carried out with nurses caring for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the ICU ( = 369). Data were collected using a questionnaire and the Good Death Scale. The mean score of the participants scale was 56.84 ± 7.51. In this study, nurses have seen as important statements that include "ensuring a peaceful death", "being with their loved ones", "meeting a person's spiritual needs", and "having an opportunity to say goodbye" for the good death. The factors contributing to the perception of a good death were gender, marital status, and feeling sad when caring for a dying patient ( < .05).
我们目睹了全球范围内新冠病毒病(COVID-19)病例及相关死亡人数的不断增加。因此,这项描述性横断面研究的目的是确定重症监护病房(ICU)中护理新冠病毒病确诊患者的护士对善终的看法及其影响因素。该研究针对ICU中护理新冠病毒病确诊患者的护士开展(n = 369)。通过问卷调查和《善终量表》收集数据。参与者量表的平均得分为56.84 ± 7.51。在本研究中,护士们认为“确保安详离世”“与亲人在一起”“满足一个人的精神需求”以及“有机会道别”等表述对于善终很重要。影响善终认知的因素包括性别、婚姻状况以及护理濒死患者时感到悲伤(P < .05)。
