  • Title: Factors influencing nursing care of children who are terminally ill: a selective review.
    Author: Davies B, Eng B.
    Journal: Pediatr Nurs; 1993; 19(1):9-14. PubMed ID: 8446487.
    Abstract:
    Care of the child who is dying is a complex and emotionally difficult nursing challenge. A review of the literature reveals a scarcity of information relating to the nurse's experience and indicates a predominant atheoretic approach. Obstacles to effective and humane terminal care exist at the personal, interpersonal, and social levels in the current health care system.
