Comfort ‐Supporting Nursing Activities for End‐of‐Life Patients in an Institutionalized Environment

ConclusionsWith the exception of hospice departments, RNs used activities encouraging psychological, spiritual, and social comfort for end‐of‐life patients less frequently than the physical dimension. Clinical RelevanceRNs in hospitals and LTCFs focus insufficiently on the spiritual and psychosocial comfort of end‐of‐life patients. This study is of particular significance to educators who prepare the next generation of nurses.
