Results from several research studies combined with increasing public tensions surrounding physician-assisted suicide have fueled a growing awareness of the inadequacies of end-of-life care. Investigators also suggest that intensive care unit nurses have a limited role in end-of-life decision making and care planning. This article explores cultural issues influencing end-of-life care in intensive care units, explores factors surrounding the limited involvement of critical care nurses in end-of-life decision making and care planning, and offers recommendations for changing nursing practice. Because improving end-of-life care will require cultural changes, an understanding of the cultural issues involved is needed. Recommendations for changing nursing practice include a model of end-of-life care that incorporates the goals of both cure and comfort care, as well as a shared decision-making process. Nurses are essential to improving end-of-life care in today's intensive care units.

:几项研究的结果,加上围绕医生协助自杀的日益紧张的公众气氛,加剧了人们对临终关怀不足的认识。研究人员还建议,重症监护室护士在临终决策和护理计划中的作用有限。本文探讨了重症监护病房中影响临终护理的文化问题,探讨了重症监护护士在临终决策和护理计划中参与有限的因素,并提出了改变护理实践的建议。由于改善报废医疗将需要文化上的改变,因此需要对所涉及的文化问题有一个了解。改变护理习惯的建议包括一个结合了治愈和舒适护理目标以及共同决策过程的临终护理模型。在当今的重症监护病房中,护士对于改善临终护理至关重要。
