Abstract

This study aimed to elucidate the practice of nurses at Hospital A. We qualitatively analyzed 13 case reports published over the past 5 years. The nurses perceived refusal of treatment and care as distressing. They actively sought treatment options and methods to minimize discomfort and attempted to alleviate symptoms. In cases where recovery was a prolonged process, they encouraged a mindset of viewing the patient's situation positively as a process of achieving goals, emphasizing not lowering the level of self-care. The nurses accepted the honest feelings and continued to find out what they could do for the patients and their families. Additionally, they focused on the patient's characteristics and background, (deciding between what is important in life and continuing treatment) and provided individualized nursing care. It was suggested that these characteristics are highly versatile, as nursing care is tailored to each patient's uniqueness in Hospital A.
