Summary
Christian nurses in Indonesia perceive a peaceful death through components of care, companionship, and spiritual assurance of the afterlife. Understanding these views enhances end-of-life care for dying patients.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- End-of-Life Care
- Qualitative Research
Background:
- Discussing death is challenging, even within religious communities, leading to avoidance of end-of-life care planning.
- Dying patients often lack agency in their care, highlighting the need for patient-centered approaches.
- Nurses' perspectives are vital for quality end-of-life care, yet data on Christian nurses' views in Indonesia is scarce.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the perspectives of Christian nurses regarding a peaceful death in Indonesia.
- To identify factors contributing to a peaceful death from the viewpoint of Christian nurses.
- To inform culturally sensitive and spiritually-grounded end-of-life care practices.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative descriptive study conducted from January to April 2024.
- Purposive sampling of 18 Christian nurses (3 male, 15 female) recruited via social media.
- Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews using six open-ended questions.
Main Results:
- Three emergent themes: Components of a Peaceful Death, Companionship and Care, and Knowing the Final Destination.
- Participants emphasized spiritual elements and holistic support in achieving a peaceful death.
- Findings reveal a nuanced understanding of death influenced by faith and cultural context.
Conclusions:
- Christian nurses' perspectives offer valuable insights into achieving a peaceful death.
- Understanding these views can optimize end-of-life care, particularly for patients with similar beliefs.
- This research contributes to nursing knowledge by integrating faith-based perspectives into palliative care.
