Abstract
En 中文
Hospitals are the most common place of death worldwide yet dying patients' needs are frequently unmet. Acute wards are oriented toward cure, efficiency and discharge, creating conditions in which recognition of dying and transitions to comfort-focused care are often delayed. Nurses are central to end-of-life care but face moral, cultural and institutional constraints that shape how they can respond.
