“…By adopting a professional role and attitude, nurses can ensure that the patients end their lives in a hopeful environment where they are peaceful, respected, and surrounded by loved ones 44 with end-of-life care. 45 For this purpose, regardless of the time and place of death, nurses can create an environment that can bring the loved ones of patients together.…”

Every individual who opens his/her eyes to life at birth closes eyes to death at the end of life. Every individual who is in the process of death wants to spend the last periods of his life as free from pain as possible, in a dignified and peaceful way. End-of-life care is provided by nurses, which aims to alleviate the suffering of individuals in the dying process and to provide patients with a good death experience. The continuation of treatment-oriented practices in the end-of-life period causes the inability to provide end-of-life care and patients suffer from unnecessary practices. Nurses who are in one-to-one contact with patients have important roles in making the decision to switch to end-of-life care and in providing end-of-life care to patients. In the present article, the concept of end-of-life care is examined, the difference between end-of-life care and palliative care, which are often confused, is discussed, and the purpose of end-of-life care and its importance for patients are emphasized. The roles and responsibilities of nurses in end-of-life care are also highlighted. It has been discussed that the roles of nurses are very important in the transition from treatment-oriented care to comfort-oriented end-of-life care, providing effective end-of-life care, and patients experiencing a good death with dignity.

“…Faced with the irreversible process of advanced lung cancer, patients may experience fear and anxiety about death. By cultivating spiritual well‐being, patients have the opportunity to explore a profound understanding of life's end, thereby better accepting death as a part of the life cycle, reducing anticipatory grief about the unknown (Ata & Kılıç, 2022 ). Therefore, we propose hypothesis 8 that spiritual well‐being negatively impacts anticipatory grief.…”

AimThis study aimed to explore the chain mediating effect of spiritual well‐being and anticipatory grief between benefit finding and meaning in life of patients with advanced lung cancer.DesignThis was a cross‐sectional study.MethodsThe research included 400 patients with advanced lung cancer who attended REDACTE from December 2022 to August 2023 as the research subjects. Data were collected using a questionnaire including socio‐demographic and clinical characteristics, the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy‐Spiritual Well‐Being scale (FACIT‐Sp‐12), the Benefit Finding Scale (BFS), the Preparatory Grief in Advanced Cancer Patients Scale (PGAC), and the Meaning of Life Questionnaire (MLQ). The structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyse the relationship between benefit finding, spiritual well‐being, anticipatory grief and meaning in life.ResultsThere was a significant correlation between benefit finding, spiritual well‐being, anticipatory grief, and meaning in life. Benefit finding could have a direct positive impact on meaning in life of patients with advanced lung cancer, but it could also indirectly affect meaning in life of patients with advanced lung cancer through three pathways: the mediating effect of spiritual well‐being, the mediating effect of anticipatory grief and the chain mediating effect of spiritual well‐being and anticipatory grief. Nursing staff should develop an integrated program of interventions to enhance the meaning in life of patients with advanced lung cancer.
