Abstract
The aim of the current study was to explore the applicability of Swanson's middle-range theory of caring within the context of end-of-life care provided to nursing home residents. A secondary analysis of data collected from 5 individual interviews and 1 focus group with a total of 9 nurses employed at nursing homes was conducted using qualitative deductive content analysis. The findings highlight the influence of nurses' caring attitudes and behaviors on providing end-of-life care, which are described as caring processes. Additionally, the study emphasizes the valuable role of Swanson's theory in guiding end-of-life care practices in nursing homes.
期刊介绍：
Consistently ranked as one of the most-read and most assigned journals by faculties of graduate programs in nursing, Advances in Nursing Science (ANS) is intellectually challenging, innovative and progressive, and features articles from a wide range of scholarly traditions. The journal particularly encourages works that speak to the need for global sustainability and that take an intersectional approach, recognizing class, color, sexual and gender identity, and other dimensions of human experience related to health. Articles in ANS are peer-reviewed and chosen for their pioneering perspectives and for their significance in contributing the evolution of the discipline of nursing.
