dc.description.abstract | About 40 percent of all deaths
in Norway take place in nursing
homes. The proportion will
probably increase, and a majority
will need end-of-life care/
palliative care in the final days
or weeks of their life. In Norway
we know little about what constitutes
a good death in nursing
homes and how end-of-life care
is practised. The project aimed
at exploring what professionals
working face-to-face with dying
elderly persons defined as a
good death and the necessary
preconditions.
A strategic sample of 14 professionals,
working in five nursing
homes in four different health
regions, was interviewed. The
interviews focused on the informants’
working experience with
dying nursing homes patients.
Four main topics were emphasized:
adequate pain and other
symptom relief, not to be alone
in the final days and hours,
taking care of relatives and
preventing unnecessary lifeprolonging
treatment. Paying
respect to the patient and her/
his relatives was considered an
essential prerequisite to attain a
good and dignified death. Other
conditions that have to be fulfilled
were adequate routines
