  • Title: Can the death of a child be good?
    Author: Welch SB.
    Journal: J Pediatr Nurs; 2008 Apr; 23(2):120-5. PubMed ID: 18339337.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-four thousand children die each year despite the advances in care for children with acute and chronic illnesses. Demands for improved palliative and end-of-life care for children exist. Good death is a concept frequently used in the adult hospice movement. However, how can the death of a child be good? Analysis of good death can assist pediatric nurses to understand the concept and provide a framework for nurses in the clinical and research arenas to work together to develop and provide evidence-based, developmentally appropriate care for dying children and their families.
