Abstract

Introduction: Nursing is a profession that is particularly exposed to contact with human death. Caring for a dying patient requires the nursing team to be in contact with his/her pain and suffering. In their work, nurses must deal with many difficulties resulting from this beautiful but at the same time demanding profession. Aim of the study: Assessment of difficulties faced by nursing staff in caring for a dying patient. Material and methods: The study was carried out using the diagnostic survey method, by means of a question-naire, which consisted of 36 single-choice and 4 multiple-choice questions. The study included a group of 581 female nurses and 13 male nurses working in hospital wards in the Subcarpatian voivodeship. The material was collected in 2018. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS program. Results: The largest percentage of respondents (58.4%) believed that the greatest difficulty in caring for a dying patient is the lack of time that should be devoted to the patient. Nursing staff felt fear of the death of a loved one (63.3%). Over 48% of the surveyed nurses believed that informing the patient about their imminent death should depend on the patient’s condition and external conditions at work in the ward. Conclusions: Professional nursing care for a terminally ill patient should focus primarily on pain relief and ensuring contact with his/her family.

护理人员在照顾临终病人时所面临的困难
导言:护理是一种特别容易接触人类死亡的职业。照顾临终病人需要护理团队了解他/她的痛苦和痛苦。在他们的工作中,护士必须处理这个美丽但同时要求很高的职业所带来的许多困难。本研究的目的:评估护理人员在照顾临终病人时所面临的困难。材料与方法:本研究采用诊断调查法,采用问卷调查的方式进行,问卷包括36道单项选择题和4道多项选择题。该研究包括在Subcarpatian省医院病房工作的581名女护士和13名男护士。这些材料是在2018年收集的。采用SPSS软件进行统计分析。结果:58.4%的受访者认为,照顾临终病人最大的困难是没有时间花在病人身上。护理人员对亲人的死亡感到恐惧(63.3%)。超过48%的受访护士认为,告知病人即将死亡的情况应视病人的情况及病房内工作的外部情况而定。结论:临终病人的专业护理应以减轻疼痛和确保与家属的联系为重点。
