Abstract

This review article examines the recent (i.e., since the late-1990s) research on deathbed visions (DBVs). The reviewed material includes the features of DBV experiences, terminology and definitional issues in the literature, and prevalence reports of DBVs by family members/caregivers of dying persons, healthcare professionals, terminally ill patients, hospice palliative care volunteers, and nursing home staff. The impact of DBVs on dying persons, why deathbed visitors appear, and possible explanations for DBVs are also considered. The lessons learned from the literature review include the following: DBVs are common experiences that cannot be easily explained, and they typically have positive impacts on dying persons, not the least of which is lessening the fear of death. The literature review also highlights the need for training and education about DBVs.

临终幻象:访客与远景。
这篇综述文章考察了最近(即自20世纪90年代末以来)关于临终愿景(DBV)的研究。审查的材料包括DBV经历的特点、文献中的术语和定义问题,以及垂死者的家庭成员/护理人员、医疗保健专业人员、绝症患者、临终关怀姑息治疗志愿者和疗养院工作人员的DBV流行率报告。还考虑了DBV对临终人员的影响、临终访客出现的原因以及DBV的可能解释。从文献综述中吸取的教训包括:DBV是无法轻易解释的常见经历,它们通常会对垂死的人产生积极影响,尤其是减轻对死亡的恐惧。文献综述还强调了对DBV进行培训和教育的必要性。
