Abstract:
ABSTRACT Introduction: In caring for the sick, health workers constantly come into contact with death. This leads to changes in their emotions and they react as best they can when faced with such situations. They are not immune to the influence of society, nor to the emotions caused by death and working with dying patients. The objectives of this study are to investigate how they confront grief, to find out what it means to them and how they perceive the anxiety and fear, and finally to interpret their attitude. Method: A qualitative and phenomenological study. The study population was three nurses in a hospital in Reus who were given a semi-structured in-depth interview. The resulting information was then analysed and classified. Results: What stands out from the results of the interviews is that the grieving process is difficult to handle and that not everybody is able to come to grips with it, as feelings play an important role. They also highlight the general lack of training. Conclusion: Death is a subject most people try to ignore, mainly due to religion. Health workers coincide in offering general comfort and creating emotional barriers or distance. Fear can be observed in the process; it goes beyond the anxiety felt, although training and experience help them handle it better. Basic training is lacking in both universities and the workplace. Keywords: Grief, death, process, nurses, the dying
