The impact of end-of-life care among nurses working in the pediatric intensive care unit

Article

CHATMON, Benita N. | RICHOUX, Dianne | SWEENEY, Brittany

Health care providers caring for patients at the end of life (EOL) are faced with a multitude of emotions such as guilt, anger, sadness, and helplessness. Because of the negative impact of initiating EOL care (EOLC) to the pediatric population, organizations must be proactive in instituting education and resources on EOLC. They must also provide advanced skills to nurses who take care of patients at their EOL. Understanding the consequences of providing EOL care to patients in the pediatric intensive care unit allows for better allocation of resources and support services for nurses. This improves patient outcomes and nurse retention.
