The family member of the patients were troubled and constrained by the“obsession”that the state of the patients would become worse after telling them the truth, and their own“fear”, and“uncertainty”about how to deal with the patients after disclosure.<BR>2. In the nurses of the patients were also troubled and constrained. They exhibited“indifference”and“were busy”as well as“obsession”,“fear”, and“uncertainty”as observed in the family members.<BR>3.
