- Abstract
The article discusses nurses' influence on end-of-life care. It states that in a study, it was found that nurses took an indifferent role in recognising dying, providing active care until a medical officer's declaration of dying. They showed varying degrees of discomfort, indicating that they were underprepared for this. It mentions that during end-of-life care, the attitudes of nurses towards death would impact patient's care. It mentions that all nurses are not groomed to provide dying care.
