ABSTRACT
In the field of nursing, patients and nurses involve a lot of time spent interacting with
each other and it is, most times, unavoidable to establish a relationship. Oftentimes, a bond is
created between them. What, then, would happen if a terminally ill patient suddenly passed
away during his nurse's care? How would it affect the nurse? How would it affect the not-so-
experienced student nurse? Does it have an impact on him? Will it affect his performance in his
duty? Because of these thoughts, the researchers developed a study on the lived experience of
junior and senior student nurses in Foundation University School year 2008-2009 who
experienced caring for critically ill patients that eventually died during their
The Theory of Human Becoming by Rosemarie Parse and Phenomenology by Edmund
Husserl are the bases for the study's framework. The former states that humans
open,
mutual, and in constant interaction with the environment, while the latter believes that lived
experience gives meaning to each person's perception of a particular phenomenon.
Our findings indentified the following relevant themes: (1) fear, (2) shock, (3)
acceptance, (4) guilt, (5) realization, (6) sympathy, (7) challenge, (8) inadequacy, (9)
indífference, and (10) happiness. These themes were determined after having an interpretative
breakdown of the study participant's statements. This qualitative study explores the lived experiences of junior and senior student nurses at Foundation University during the 2008–2009 school year who provided care to critically ill patients that eventually died under their care. The research examines emotional, psychological, and professional challenges encountered by student nurses and highlights coping mechanisms and learning outcomes derived from end-of-life care experiences.
