Obstacles and Supportive Behaviors
Beckstrand, Moore, Callister, and Bond (2009) reported
oncology nurses’ perceptions of the size of obstacles
and helpful or supportive behaviors at the EOL.
The three largest obstacles were (a) having to deal with
angry family members, (b) families not accepting what
the physician is telling them about the patient’s poor
prognosis, and (c) being called away from the patient
and family because of the need to help with a new admission
or to help other nurses care for their patients.
The three largest supportive behaviors were (a) allowing
family members adequate time to be alone with the
patient after he or she has died, (b) having social work
or palliative care as part of the patient care team, and
(c) having family members accept that the patient is
dying. No frequency of occurrence data were included
in the report, so it was not clear whether those highly
rated obstacles or supportive behaviors also occurred
frequently.
