“…The finding of communicating caring through touch has similarities with the description of a term comfort touch (Newson, 2008) and pathic touch (Kleiman, 2005), that is, communicating caring through touch involves both physical and emotional aspects. The finding of the theme honoring self for giving care is similar to the feelings of satisfaction and fulfillment experienced by oncology nurses (Rooyen, Roux, & Kotze, 2008).…”

This phenomenological study describes the lived experience of caring for persons who had a peaceful death in the intensive care units. Ten intensive care nurses in south Thailand participated in individual interviews. Van Manen's approach was utilized to synthesize data. The lived experience of Thai nurses caring for persons who had a peaceful death is: understanding the other through valuing experience and enhancing relationships with others by recognizing time is short and is a priority. Boykin and Schoenhofer's theory of nursing as caring provided the theoretical lens for interpreting the meaning of the phenomenon.

“…This finding is not unique, as various studies report challenges, as well as rewards, in caring for cancer patients. [ 23 27 28 ] Interestingly, Van Rooyen et al .,[ 29 ] in a study exploring the experiential world of the oncology nurse, state nurses choosing to practice in cancer care are usually passionate about their work, while those who are “forced” to work in these care settings often experience discomfort. Therefore, it might be possible that the participants in the current study who chose to practice in cancer care, reported more positive, meaningful experiences than those who could not choose.…”

Objective:The objective of this study was to describe the experiences of Zambian nurses caring for women with advanced breast cancer.Methods:We used a qualitative descriptive design and purposive sampling. Seventeen in-depth interviews were conducted with registered nurses practicing in the Cancer Diseases Hospital and the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia, and analyzed using thematic analyses.Results:Two themes emerged from the data - caring for women with advanced breast cancer is challenging and the good outweighs the bad. The majority of the participants agreed that caring for women with advanced breast cancer and witnessing their suffering were challenging. Not having formal education and training in oncology nursing was disempowering, and one of the various frustrations participants experienced. The work environment, learning opportunities, positive patient outcomes, and the opportunity to establish good nurse–patient experiences were positive experiences.Conclusions:Although negative experiences seemed to be overwhelming, participants reported some meaningful experiences while caring for women with advanced breast cancer. The lack of formal oncology nursing education and training was a major factor contributing to their negative experiences and perceived as the key to rendering the quality of care patients deserved. Ways to fulfill the educational needs of nurses should be explored and instituted, and nurses should be remunerated according to their levels of practice.

Nursing professionals in a variety of practice settings routinely use implied consent. This form of consent is used in place of or in conjunction with informed or explicit consent. This article looks at one aspect of a qualitative exploratory study conducted in a Day of Surgery Admission unit. This article focuses on the examination of nurses' understandings of implied consent and its use in patient care in nursing practice. Data were collected through one-on-one interviews and analysed using a thematic analysis. Nurses participating in this study revealed that they routinely used implied consent in their nursing practice. This article will look at whether implied consent supports or impedes a patient's autonomy.
