Aim: The purpose of this literature review was to describe nurses’ experiences of ethical problems in the end-of-life care of patients. Method: A literature review was selected as a method in this study based on eightscientific articles. Articles were reviewed and analyzed critically by the author. Travelbees’ theory (1971) “human- to- human relationships” was selected as a theoretical basis. Results: The result presents six themes as follows: Decision-making, ineffective treatments and therapies, insufficient communication, the lack of cooperation, inadequate respect for patient’s autonomy and uncertainty in caring role. These themes present how nurses deal with end-of-life care and in which situations ethical problems arise. Discussions: The result was discussed in relation to Travelbees’ theory (1971) “human-to-human relationships”. Nurses’ different experiences according to their different responsibilities such as insufficient communication and cooperation, decision-making processes, uncertainty in caring role and inadequate respect for patients’ autonomy were discussed. Bakgrund: I bakgrunden beskrivs följande termer: Palliativ vård och holistiskt synsätt, vård vid livets slutskede, etiska problem i livets slutskede och definitionerna av etiskt problem och etiskt dilemma. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av etiska problem i vården av patienter i livets slutskede. Metod: En litteraturöversikt valdes som metod i denna studie som bygger på åtta vetenskapliga artiklar. Artiklarna granskades och analyserades av författaren. Travelbees teori (1971) “human-to-human relationships” valdes som en teoretisk grund. Resultat: Resultatet presenterar sex teman enligt följande: Beslutsfattande, ineffektiva behandlingar och terapier, otillräcklig kommunikation, bristande samarbete, otillräcklig respekt för patientens autonomi och osäkerhet i vårdande roll. Dessa teman presenterar hur sjuksköterskor hanterar vård vid livets slutskede och i vilka situationer etiska problem uppstår. Diskussion: Resultatet diskuterades utifrånTravelbees’ theory (1971) “human- to- human relationships”. Sjuksköterskors olika erfarenheter i enlighet med deras olika ansvarsområden såsom otillräcklig kommunikation och samarbete, beslutsprocesser, osäkerheten i vårdanderoll och bristande respekt för patientens autonomi diskuterades.
