Description
Summary:碩士 === 南華大學 === 生死學研究所 === 93 === This research aimed at presenting hospice nurses’ response on the death anxiety of terminal patients. The author collected field text by participating observation and in-depth interview. With interpretive phenomenology as research method, the text is analyzed mainly based on existential psychology. This paper is trying to expose patients’ death anxiety at various embodiment and its meaning within their own terminal context. The nurses’ responses are interpreted as a process from caring to sharing. How hospice nurses’ response can accomplish the process from caring to sharing? It starts from when hospice nurses are aware of their capability limit of “doing” while caring terminal patient. Through self reflection, transformation, and internalization of their being, this tacit knowledge turned into quality sharing of their “being”.
