    Area of Science:

    • Palliative Care
    • Nursing Practice
    • Patient-Centered Care

    Background:

    • Understanding patient preferences is crucial in end-of-life care.
    • Existing nursing practices may not fully align with terminal patients' desires.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore and rank the nursing behaviors desired by terminally ill patients.
    • To develop a model of responsive nursing care based on patient preferences.

    Main Methods:

    • An exploratory study utilizing a 70-card Q-sort methodology.
    • Statements covered physical, psycho-emotional care for patients, and psycho-emotional care for significant others.

    Main Results:

    • The most favored statement was "I would like the nurse to help me remain at home for as long as possible."
    • The least favored statement was "I would like the nurse to talk to me about death and dying."
    • A preference for responsive over directive nursing behaviors was identified, leading to a five-factor model of responsive care.

    Conclusions:

    • Terminally ill patients desire responsive nursing care that empowers them and their families.
    • Nursing care should facilitate patients' own resources during the dying process, rather than imposing externally determined care.
    • A responsive care model enhances patient and family agency in end-of-life care.
