Nurses provided you psychological support at the time of patient s death 3. The sympathy card expressed our concern to you and your family 4. The telephone followup is helpful to you and your family 3.4% 89.7% 3.4% 3.4% 0.0% 0.0% 6.9% 62.1% 17.2% 10.3% 3.4% 0.0% 3.4% 51.7% 10.3% 3.4% 0.0% 31.0% 10.3% 75.9% 6.9% 3.4% 3.4% 0.0%
16 Results (Qualitative) Expressions of experience on death & bereavement - birth, aging, sick and death are inevitable parts of life cycle - I I feel so lonely, so silence - treasure your family members especially the parents when they were alive Ways of coping with bereavement - Time/ Family & friends/ Religious thoughts - Internal cognitive measures/ Natural manners
17 Results (Qualitative) Expressions of the impact of Chinese cultural beliefs - Positive / Negative / Denied impact - Views on death / Rituals and mourning Expected hospital-based bereavement service - Needs before death - Psychological support - Actual problems
18 Implications for Clinical Practice Although death was widely regarded as taboo in Chinese society, there was increased awareness of life & death issues The advantageous role of nurses would facilitated the provision of bereavement support service Supportive interventions should be started at predeath phase, such as the ways to manage end-oflife care
19 Implications for Clinical Practice The Chinese cultural beliefs served to explain human existence and to determine the rituals of death, mourning & bereavement To acknowledge the Chinese cultural beliefs when caring dying patients & bereaved families - pay attention to moral norms, social proprieties and filial piety e.g. Song-zong, Family-centered - respect individual beliefs system - cultural stereotypes should be avoided
20 Recommendations Strengthen the role of nurses in bereavement care service Develop a culturally sensitive bereavement service in local acute care settings - Training and support - Hospital policy - Collaboration with community sectors
21 Conclusion A caring culture and the growing awareness of our frontline staff and hospital administration on the needs for dying and bereavement are nurtured through years of efforts
