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

of observation
